I found this beautiful and very different cross in the UK.  It has beveled garnets in sterling silver.  I used 2 different sizes  Cherry Baltic Amber for a perfect match with the Garnets and sterling silver chain links are inset in the necklace to match the Cross.  This beautiful long cross is 30" and the cross adds another 3".

This is a very beautiful, statement piece.

Garnet Folklore and Healing Properties:
Garnet's powers include healing, strength, and protection and it is often worn to relieve inflammations of the skin. It is also believed to regulate the heart and blood flow and aid in curing depression. In earlier times, garnets were exchanged as gifts between friends to demonstrate their affection for each other and to insure that they meet again.

Amber Folklore:
Amber has helped track ancient trade routes, and is documented in literature and the mythology of many pre-Christian cultures, and was referred to as "northern gold".

Amber is a fossilized and very old organic substance; amber talismans and jewelry have been found in Stone Age archaeological sites, as well as in ancient burial chambers.

Wear amber to attract warm, loyal, and generous people into your life; or carry amber on your person to lend logic or wit to a difficult situation.
Mixed with turquoise, amber is reminiscent of the sun in the sky. This combination of energies may be used successfully to quiet the mind and calm the nervous system.

Some cultures believe amber has healing abilities because it has electrical properties when rubbed with a cloth, attracting lint/dust. It also has an aroma, and is warm to the touch. The Greek word "electron" means amber. This is where the word "electricity" comes from.
