Star Ruby Necklace

This elegant pedant is hand crafted from solid sterling silver and features a stunning Red Star Ruby at its center surrounded by delicate beaded detail. Star rubies, are a type of ruby, that have intricate needle-like inclusions of rutile within the crystal that lattice and intersect to create an optical phenomenon known as asterism. This creates a luminous six-rayed star that dances across the surface of the stone when in a single light source like the sun.  Red star rubies are highly sought after, and this one features a soft star and stunning, unique, patterning and sheen.

The Star Ruby has been revered for centuries in many civilizations. Warriors would wear them into battle believing they would protect them from enemies. In Sanskrit, the ruby is called "ratnaraj" which means "king of precious stones". It was believed to be the stone of the sun, and the deity Suraya favored and guarded any who possessed it. Power, passion, protection, and good fortune, have all been properties associated with having rubies, which is why they have been one of the most prized and precious stones throughout humanity. 

This piece is the perfect companion for anyone looking for strength, protection, and maybe a little luck on their journeys.
