Ruby Necklace, Natural Purple Star Ruby Pendant, Unique Gift, USA Handmade, Crystal Necklace

This purple ruby necklace is made with a large cut of natural star ruby. It has a nice pattern in the top just right of center and displays a silver flash when moved in sunlight. Stones of this type are not usually this size. This is a large cut that we set in a medallion like setting of solid sterling silver .925. We did not cut this stone to exhibit a star pattern as we prefer the round shape for this piece and honestly I like the silver flash. There's not really another stone that looks like these. The included chain is natural black leather with silver components. This pendant is 1.45 inches tall including the bail. The chain is about 20 inches in length.

In the global market we encourage you to shop local by supporting artists and small businesses who cut stones safely and ethically within the U.S.A. All of our stones and fordite are made by us, within our home, in Wisconsin.

Our stones are mirror polished and so there will be reflections in the pictures. We take pictures in direct bright light that simulates what your stone will look like in direct sunlight. Stones look very different in low or artificial light. If it's dark when you receive them you can use the flashlight feature on your smart phone to see what they will look like in daylight. If you are new to semi precious stones please understand that these stones are natural and were found or dug from the earth. These are not faceted altered or manmade stones you see in stores. Natural stones (especially agates) may have features that would be considered flaws in a faceted stone or manufactured stone. Natural stones can have internal fractures, natural holes or geode areas. If there are features we as professional lapidary artists feel may detract from a stone we do our best to describe them in the listing description and show them in the pictures.We charge based on size and quality of the stone as well as market factors. We don’t dabble in the art of stone cutting. Brain is a full time lapidary artist so if you buy from us you are buying a high quality stone made by an experienced professional artist. We are a legitimate small business licensed as an LLC in Wisconsin. Our business mission is to create happiness through our art.
