The four small prongs holding the ruby are yellow gold. It’s a subtle contrast against the cool white of the platinum and diamonds, and it brings out the warmth in the red stone. It’s a detail you only notice up close.
An oval-cut ruby sits at the centre, surrounded by a halo of fourteen round diamonds that create a starburst shape. The pendant itself is small, just 8 mm tall. It hangs from a simple bail on a fine, elongated link chain made of platinum.
The setting and chain are made from PT900 platinum, which means the metal is 90% pure platinum. It has a nice weight to it and is incredibly durable, so it's resistant to scratches from daily wear. Platinum is also naturally hypoallergenic and won't tarnish or change colour over time. The ruby is a natural stone, not lab-grown, as are the small diamonds in the halo. The yellow gold prongs are a deliberate design choice to complement the deep red of the ruby.

This is a classic halo pendant, but the two-tone detail with the gold prongs makes it feel a little different. It’s a way to wear a bit of colour and a classic gemstone without wearing something large or heavy. It sits nicely right on the collarbone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do the prongs holding the stone on my Oval Ruby Pendant look like a different colour?
Those prongs are made of yellow gold. It's a deliberate two-tone design choice, where the warm tone of the gold is used to complement the deep red of the ruby, while the rest of the setting is cool, white platinum to enhance the diamonds' brightness.
Can I shower or sleep while wearing my PT900 platinum and ruby necklace?
We recommend taking it off before showering or sleeping. While platinum and ruby are very durable, soap and shampoo can build up and dull the stones' sparkle over time. Sleeping with it on also increases the risk of the fine chain snagging or breaking.
How will a 16-inch chain for the Oval Ruby Pendant sit on my neck?
A 16-inch chain, often called a choker length, typically rests right at the base of the neck on the collarbone. On a more petite frame, it might hang slightly lower, while on a larger frame, it will sit higher up on the neck.
