Ruby & Gold Chain Necklace | Spaced Faceted Ovals | July Birthstone

The one everybody buys. There's a reason.

Faceted natural ruby ovals spaced evenly along a fine gold-plated chain — stone, chain, stone, chain — for 76 cm (30 in). Lighter on the neck than a solid gemstone strand, and the little runs of gold between the rubies keep it from ever reading heavy. This is the ruby necklace people wear on a Tuesday.

A note on the stone: genuine natural ruby. Deep, slightly opaque red with real stone variation bead to bead.

What Ruby Carries (July Birthstone)

Ruby is July's birthstone — vitality, courageous love, devotion. Heart and root at once. Zodiac: Cancer and Leo.

Why It's Our Best Seller

• Genuine ruby at a wearable price: the spacing does the work, so you get real stone without the full-strand weight or cost
• Layers beautifully: the visible chain gives other necklaces something to sit against
• 30 in, no clasp: over the head and out the door
• Never fussy: reads polished with a blazer, easy with a linen shirt

How to Wear It

This is the layering workhorse. Pair it with a short pendant at the collarbone for a two-tier drop, or add a mid-length chain for three levels. Worn alone over a white tee it's the whole outfit. Double it for a chunkier choker-plus-strand look on nights out.
