Ruby, Emerald and Cubic Zirconia Pendant

A 30 x 13 mm pendant crafted in rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver, featuring two faceted navette rubies (7 x 3 mm and 4 x 2 mm) and a 2 mm round emerald. The pendant's design resembles a leaf, with the smaller ruby ​​at the top surrounded by cubic zirconia and connected to the rest by jump rings that add movement to the piece. Moving down, between the two rubies, is the emerald, which adds vibrancy and breaks the monotony of the red. Finally, at the bottom, the larger ruby, mimicking one of the leaves in the design, is accompanied by others adorned with cubic zirconia.

The most prized color is pigeon's blood, a pure red with a subtle bluish tint.

Emerald:

The green color comes from a mixture of other minerals, including chromium, vanadium, and iron, which gives it a bluish tint. In natural light, the true essence of emeralds is easier to discern, while artificial light can expose internal fractures in the stone caused by the glare. In ancient European and Indian cultures, the emerald was associated with Mercury, the messenger of the gods and the god of journeys, sleep, and dreams, and was therefore considered the stone of divine inspiration.
