Ruby & Diamond Halo Necklace 16" (0.05 ctw)

A round ruby ringed by a halo of small diamonds, which makes the center stone look larger and throws off more light. The ruby here is lab-grown, so the red is deep and even and the price stays reasonable for how much necklace this is. It measures about 8.4 mm across the pendant and hangs at 16 inches. You get the full metal range: white, yellow, and rose 14K gold, or platinum for the version that never needs re-plating. A lab-grown ruby is the same mineral and color as a mined one, grown instead of dug, which is why the halo look costs less here than it would with a natural center. Good as an anniversary piece or a milestone gift, and it comes gift-boxed.
