Ruby Lion Necklace
Ruby Lion Necklace
The Ruby Lion Necklace features deep crimson beads strung on a forty-centimetre cord. The red corundum beads, with their glassy sheen, rest securely on the décolleté, reflecting light from their smooth, polished surfaces. A lobster clasp and an extension chain made of silver or gold-plated silver allow the length to be adjusted. This striking accessory subtly accentuates the simplicity of classic outfits.

About the stone
Ruby is the red variety of corundum, or aluminium oxide. Its characteristic colour, ranging from raspberry shades to deep crimson, is due to the presence of chromium impurities. This stone crystallises in metamorphic and igneous rocks. On the Mohs hardness scale, it is surpassed only by diamond, making it an exceptionally durable mineral. Some specimens display asterism, creating the effect of a six-rayed star on the surface. Learn more in the article Ruby — properties and history on our blog.
Care
Clean the ruby necklace with a dry cloth, avoiding contact between the precious metals and chemicals or perfumes. Store it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment of your jewellery box.
