Honeyed Garnet necklace


I bought this Hessionite Garnet at one of my favorite bead stores at home a couple of weekends ago.  I'd passed it by a few times, but finally gave in and got it.  Then I had a problem: I had no idea what findings to use with it!  Silver?  Copper?  Gold?  Antique brass?  I debated for the last two weeks, and finally decided on antique copper, which wouldn't detract from the rich honey brown shades of the garnet, or its beautiful high polish.  I wanted to showcase the stones.  I think it turned out nicely.
