Elegant Simple Silver & Ruby Necklace. Simple, sweet, smart and stylish: simply a Silver chain with a run of three Silver-set gemstones at the centre, and a drop of a further two set gemstones off the centre stone. This is a style that has been current since Antiquity, since Ancient Rome and before.
In the above Elegant Simple Silver necklace, the five gemstones are cabochon cut opaque Rubies, from the Mysore region of the southern Indian state of Karnataka, typically purplish in colour.
The bezel settings of the five Ruby gemstones are themselves of the simplest form, a rimmed frame handmade for each gemstone, with connecting rings soldered after the stones are fixed in place, leaving the rear of each Ruby totally visible, as polished as the front.
