Teardrop Ruby + 18k Gold Drop Necklace

Hand selected by designer Margaret Solow, this exceptionally well cut faceted teardrop stunner is bezel set in 18k gold and paired with a chic 17" cappuccino cord that puts the focus square on where it should be: the lovely and elegant stone itself. From the Latin word ruber, i.e. “red", the birthstone of July (as well as the 15th/40th anniversaries) is the fiery gemstone symbol of inextinguishable passion, protection + prosperity. An asymmetric 18k gold bead adds even more allure, making this one of a kind piece a deeply meaningful, romantic addition to any jewelry collection.
