A ruby pendant brings a bold, deep colour to everyday outfits without unnecessary extravagance. The faceted stone, with its saturated red carrying a hint of purple, draws the eye - each facet reflects light differently, creating a lively interplay of brilliance. The minimalist silver setting, 2.5 cm in length, lets the ruby lead the eye rather than the form.

The ruby in this pendant was selected for colour consistency - a deep, clean red free from discolouration, the result of careful selection. The availability of quality rubies is limited by nature itself, and their prices on the market steadily rise. The pendant is made from refined sterling silver 925 of European quality - an alloy free from nickel and harmful metal additives that will not irritate the skin. Rhodium deposited on the surface maintains a bright, lasting shine for years and protects the metal against tarnishing. The piece is signed with the French maker's mark - an attestation of the silver's origin.

The pendant works well at the neckline of a blazer in muted grey or graphite - the red of the ruby cuts through the cool tones and adds definition without being loud. It sits equally well against the collar of a plain white shirt, where the minimalist form and the stone's saturated colour are all the jewellery needed. This combination works as well at an office meeting as it does at a more formal dinner.
