Ruby and cultured pearl choker

A 450mm choker crafted in rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver, adorned with 7mm cultured pearls and faceted rubies in two shapes: a 2mm circular cut and a 7 x 4mm navette. The design evokes ripe fruit intertwined on delicate branches, creating a path of pearls and small rubies, resulting in an elegant and unique piece. A larger ruby, surrounded by cubic zirconia, hangs gracefully, adding sparkle and further enhancing this work of art.

Ruby:

It belongs to the corundum family, and its color is due to chromium inclusions; in brownish tones, it is iron. In ancient European and Hindu cultures, the ruby ​​was unanimously considered the stone of the sun. It represents vital force, inner fire, love, and passion. The most prized color is pigeon's blood, a pure red with a subtle bluish tint.

Origin: Madagascar.

Properties: It stimulates sexual activity, mentally awakens our thoughts, and in terms of attitude makes us more active, productive, courageous, impulsive, and spontaneous; the ruby ​​is an excellent stone for activating energies.

Zodiac sign: Scorpio

Pearl:

Pearls are produced by saltwater bivalves (mostly of the genus Pinctata), some freshwater bivalves, and occasionally some gastropods. Pearls result from a reaction that occurs when foreign bodies penetrate between the shell and the mantle of the bivalve or gastropod, or even penetrate the mantle itself. The epithelium forms the shell through nacreous secretions, but it also coats any foreign bodies that lodge in this area.

In Europe, pearls were an exclusive privilege of rulers. It is believed that the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus was the first to successfully cultivate perfectly rounded pearls in freshwater mollusks in 1761.

Properties: It is said that the pearl attracts fortune to the person who possesses it and also attracts happiness and good energies.
