Ruby & Diamond Pendant Necklace 16" (0.02 ctw)

A round natural ruby in a fine bezel, with one bezel-set diamond beside it, on a 1 mm cable chain at a 16-inch length. The red is warm and saturated, the color people mean when they say ruby, and the single diamond adds a point of light without pulling attention off the stone. It sits high on the collarbone and reads as a real piece rather than a starter charm. Solid 14K gold in white, yellow, or rose, or step up to platinum. This is the easy one to give: a July birthday, a first job, a thank-you meant to last. It arrives boxed and ready to hand over.
