Garnet and silver necklace

All the pieces of silver are handcut on this necklace, the pieces hanging from the garnet beads are silver lizards. This necklace feels really good on and hangs beautifuly around the neck line. Why are they lizard shape? I am not really sure, it just seemed right for the necklace!
