The 19.5" necklace closes with a spring clasp onto a large ring that is attached with another Ruby rondelle link.

-The necklace is 19.5" long
-Ruby drop is 30mm (1.25") (includes ring).
-Ruby gemstone is 15x9mm (approx. 5/8"x3/8"), micro faceted, opaque, flat pear shaped, and since it's natural, there is slight color banding
-All wire is 14k gold-filled, which is nickel free, and as beautifully hypo-allergenic and tarnish resistant as solid 14k.

Ruby is the traditional birthstone for July, and is given to celebrate the 40th wedding anniversary.

About Gold-filled:
Gold-filled jewelry uses a technique in which thin layers of (in this case, 14k) gold are bonded by heat and pressure to a brass center. This brass core metal is permanently bonded with 14k gold that will not flake or chip and the gold makes up 1/20th the weight. This layer is many times thicker than gold plating and with standard care, jewelry made with gold filled can last for many years.
