Ruby Teardrop Necklace

These natural south Indian rubies are from a small batch I purchased not too long ago.  I was entranced by the rose cut tear drop shape and their rich deep fuchsia color.  This necklace is a non-fixed pendant on an 18" gold fill ball chain.

MATERIAL

Gold fill is the metal material I prefer to use the most.  14k gold fill is a 5% solid 14k gold layer that has been pressure bonded onto a base metal: brass or copper.  Acting and looking like solid gold, it’s hypo-allergenic to most skin types and won’t turn black or rub off onto the skin.  It resists tarnishing, retains its rich gold color, and can withstand persistent wear.
