Necklace in garnets, freshwater pearls, and sterling silver with mother-of-pearl pendant

This necklace is a wonderful contrast of textures and color. The carved mother-of-pearl focal piece and sterling sand dollar charm add a special touch to the pearl and garnet combination.
I call this “Rose Garden at the Shore.” The garnets are that dark red which is so famous in roses, and the mother-of-pearl is reminiscent of shell hunts at the shore. It also reminds me of the Queen of hearts in Alice and Wonderland, but I didn’t think “Off With Her Head” would be appropriate.
