For thousands of years, Ruby was considered the stone of love, energy, passion and power. Fiery and captivating, it is a stone of nobility, considered the most magnificent of all gems, the queen of stones and the stone of kings. Ancients believed it surpassed all other precious stones in virtue, and its value exceeded even that of the Diamond. Set in solid sterling silver, this unique pendant measures 40mm (approx. 1.5") in length (including the bail) and 15mm (approx. 1/2") at its widest point. The weight of the pendant including the gemstones is 6g (approx. 0.21oz). The stones are flawlessly cut and polished and the combination of shapes, colors and textures is gorgeous in every way! The pendant is hanging on a delicate sterling silver chain interspersed at certain intervals with tiny faceted ruby and emerald rondelles, 18" long. Handcrafted - One of a kind.
