Dainty faceted Ruby bead necklace strung with tiny gold spacers.
Glowing with energy, these pink and red hued precious stones are a heart lifter. It is one of the four traditional main gemstones worn by nobility through the ages.
Its power in history is unmatched. In Middle Ages Europe, wearing Rubies was believed to bring good health to the wearer. In Burma, where the stone is famously found, they went further and put them underneath the skin for protection. Mongol Emperor Kublai Khan is said to have traded away a whole city for one large Ruby in 13th century China. In many ancient Asian cultures, the Ruby was a sort of seer stone. Given to loved ones to ward away evil and protect the strongest of emotions, love and rage.
Today we wear them for love; A symbol of devotion and passion to be passed down as heirlooms as has been done for centuries.

We extend or shorten lengths upon request at no cost - Jewelry doesn’t fit everyone the same way! We want you to feel strong and confident when you wear our pieces. We want you to feel like YOU. Simply add the request in a note to your order at checkout.
How to Care for Your Gather Brooklyn Jewelry:
- To refresh the shine, give your piece a gentle wipe with a polishing cloth or some mild soapy water. As all metal tarnishes when it’s exposed to air, a simple wipe on the regular maintains the color of gold or silver.
- Remove your jewelry before exercise or taking a shower. Gold, silver, and brass are all soft metals that can wear faster when there’s too much moisture or friction involved. It’s a good idea to remove them before bed too.
- Store your pieces in our packaging. The post-consumer poly bag and linen pouch will help prolong color and shine.
