How to select the ideal ruby necklace or pendant?
Start by defining your budget and choosing bright colored red rubies of desirable shape and carats with negligible inclusions and highest transparency. Pick a durable metal like 14K/18K gold or 950 platinum and a style and design that resonates with you. Customize with natural or lab-grown diamonds and ensure a secure stone setting. Look for a jewelry brand that offers a lifetime warranty and exceptional aftercare service.
Which necklace styles work best with ruby?

Who should choose a ruby necklace?

What’s the best way to check the quality of a ruby pendant or necklace?
You can check the quality of a ruby pendant or necklace by ensuring the rubies are of rich pigeon blood red color and have excellent clarity without any inclusions. Ensure all diamonds and rubies are secured with a strong setting. Check the metal for a karat stamp (e.g., 14K/18K gold or PT950 platinum), a clean finish, smooth chain links, and a reliable clasp. Buy only after checking the seller’s warranty and aftercare policies.
Are rubies natural or lab-grown?
Both natural and lab-grown rubies are available. Natural rubies are formed over millions of years beneath the Earth’s surface, making them rare and more expensive. Lab-grown rubies are created using heat enhancement treatment and share the same chemical and optical properties. They have more clarity and vibrant colors and are a more sustainable, affordable option.
