Description
- Faceted natural rubies 3-5mm diameter on graduated 17 inch strand that come ready to wear with a small plated lobster clasp and extender chain.
- Fun fact: the clasps actually identify these as "old stock" from a brief time about 30 years ago when the tariffs on jewelry were lower than those strands. It cost less to add a cheap clasp than pay the higher duty. That may also explain the pleasantly low price for these beads. Enjoy!
- Rubies come from Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, India (where these are from), Brazil and the USA.
- Like the other precious stones, sapphire and emerald, ruby has long been associated with royalty from Emperor Kublai Khan to Queen Victoria.
- Robert Simmons claims that rubies energize and activate the physical, mental and emotional bodies. Ruby can enhance passion, strength, determination, optimism, confidence and adventurousness to overcome obstacles and fear.
