A strand of beautifully faceted natural ruby beads meets a brilliant emerald-cut moissanite in this modern gemstone necklace.
At the center is a 2 ct emerald-cut moissanite measuring 8 x 6mm, held in an unusually minimal two-prong setting. With a single prong at the north and south of the stone and its long sides left exposed, the moissanite appears to float beneath the ruby strand.
The contrast is what makes this piece special: saturated, naturally varied ruby paired with the clean geometry and clear brilliance of an emerald-cut stone. Finished with gold-filled chain and a gold-filled lobster clasp, the necklace measures approximately 18 inches and sits beautifully along the collarbone. It has presence without feeling heavy — a distinctive piece that works just as naturally with a white linen shirt or black sweater as it does with an evening dress.

About Natural Ruby
Ruby is the red variety of corundum and the traditional birthstone for July. Because these are natural gemstones, variations in color, inclusions, transparency, shape, and faceting are part of their individual character rather than imperfections. The ruby beads in your necklace may therefore vary slightly from photographs.
The Floating Moissanite
Instead of surrounding the emerald-cut stone with a traditional four-prong setting, this pendant uses just two prongs — one at the top and one at the bottom. The long sides remain exposed, allowing light to enter the stone while creating its distinctive floating appearance.
Care
To preserve your necklace, avoid prolonged contact with perfumes, lotions, household chemicals, and water. Store separately when not being worn and handle the gemstone strand gently.
