Ruby + Sterling Silver "Lotus Cushion" Pendant Necklace
“Seeing the mud around a lotus is pessimism.Seeing a lotus in the mud is optimism.”― A. Kalantri One of the most sought after gemstones in the world, rubies have been synonymous with love + devotion for centuries. Known as "The King of Gems", they symbolize integrity, prosperity & generosity. Hand engraved and set in a sterling silver pendant featuring designer Adel Chefridi's striking "Lotus Cushion" flower motif, this exceptional jewel is paired with an antiqued sterling silver chain and polished off with a satin finish for added allure. A sister to sapphire, Ruby rates a 9 on the Moh's Scale of Hardness (which assesses a gem’s ability to withstand scratching). That makes them the second hardest material known to man... after diamonds... but an equally first-rate gift idea. Length: adjustable; 16"-18". Hand set Ruby gemstone; size: 2mm (0.1") Sterling silver pendant w/ satin finish; Size: 17mm x 14mm (0.7" x 0.6") Antiqued sterling silver chain w/ lobster clasp Length: adjust
