Rubies are one the most valuable precious gemstone after diamonds. They are exceptionally rare, even more than diamonds. This vintage star ruby is a piece of history that is even harder to come by as it is a natural, untreated star ruby and over 50 carats. Rubies are formed under intense heat and pressure deep within the earth in a process that takes millions of years. 
 
Housed in handcrafted sterling silver the star ruby is a surprising pop of opaque purple and iridescence. Deep purple sparkling aventurine and sterling silver beads cascade down the 21" necklace to complete this piece. It suits a wide range of classic casual to elegant wear. Give this unique gift to yourself or special one, as a treasure that is appreciating over time.
 
Something fun? Shine a blacklight on the ruby and see its incredible glow.
