Set in two colours of 18k gold, the ruby is complemented by touches of rose gold. A softness of colour that works well in this handmade necklace. Delicately textured gold surrounds the gemstone and the necklace is finished with 3 droplets of gold on the bail.

With the 6-ray "star", called an asterism, the star ruby has a magical, starlike effect that seems to glide across the surface of the stone when it's moved in the light.

Ruby is the July birthstone and the traditional gemstone of choice when celebrating your 40th wedding anniversary.

It's also been thought to protect the wearer from unhappiness, distressing dreams and, wait for it, lightening! Its intense energy is said to light the darkness of one's life and to promote creativity and awareness.
