Sylvie by GLAMIRA's Necklaces Collection with Ruby

The rich colour of a ruby necklace

A ruby necklace brings a deep, vibrant red to any jewellery collection. Rubies are a variety of the mineral corundum, and their colour comes from chromium within the stone. This particular necklace features a genuine ruby set in gold, creating a piece that stands out for its warmth and intensity. The ruby is securely held in a four-prong setting, which allows light to pass through the stone from all angles, enhancing its natural brilliance. The gold chain complements the ruby without overpowering it, making the necklace versatile enough for both casual and formal wear. What many don’t know is that rubies have been prized for centuries, with records of their use in jewellery dating back to ancient civilisations.

Design elements that make the ruby the focal point

The design of this ruby necklace keeps the attention firmly on the stone. The ruby is cut in a classic oval shape, which maximises its colour and clarity. The four-prong setting lifts the ruby slightly away from the chain, giving it a floating appearance that draws the eye. The gold used in the setting and chain has a subtle lustre, ensuring it enhances rather than competes with the ruby’s rich hue. The chain itself is delicate yet sturdy, designed to sit comfortably around the neck without tangling. A practical tip: the clasp is easy to fasten, even with one hand, which makes putting it on effortless. The overall effect is elegant and understated, allowing the ruby’s natural beauty to take centre stage.

This necklace suits those who love bold yet refined jewellery

A ruby necklace is ideal for those who appreciate a pop of colour without sacrificing sophistication. The deep red of the ruby pairs beautifully with warm skin tones, adding a touch of warmth and vibrancy to the complexion. It also works well with cooler skin tones, where the contrast between the ruby and the skin creates a striking effect. This piece is perfect for someone with a modern, confident style, whether they’re dressing for a dinner out or adding a touch of elegance to everyday wear. The necklace’s design is versatile enough to layer with other gold pieces, such as a simple pendant or a delicate chain, for a more personalised look. It’s a statement piece that doesn’t need to shout to be noticed.

Caring for your ruby necklace day to day

Ruby necklaces are durable, but a little care goes a long way in keeping them looking their best. Rubies are one of the hardest gemstones, ranking just below diamonds in durability, so they can handle daily wear. However, it’s best to remove the necklace before activities like swimming, exercising, or cleaning, as chlorine and harsh chemicals can dull the gold over time. When washing your hands or applying lotion, it’s a good idea to take the necklace off to avoid buildup on the chain or setting. To clean it, simply use a soft cloth to wipe away any oils or dirt, and occasionally soak it in warm, soapy water before gently brushing with a soft toothbrush. Small scratches on the gold are less visible than on other metals, so the necklace will maintain its shine with minimal effort.
