9CT GOLD OVAL CREATED RUBY & WHITE SAPPHIRE PENDANT
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery

Let me introduce you to the Beyoncé of red gemstone pendants – a vintage-style, lab-created Ruby so fabulous she might just demand her own dressing room. She’s all drama, all sparkle, and not here to blend in. Encircled by 18 adoring white Sapphires, each one doing their best royal-court curtsy, she’s giving “centrepiece energy” from every angle.
This fiery icon is set in a showstopping combo of solid 9ct White and Yellow Gold – because she’s not basic, darling, and neither are you. And yes – she’s hallmarked, thank you very much. We don’t do mystery metals. We do Real. We do Glam. We do Proper Jewellery.
💎 PENDANT SPECS (For the Magpies and the Nerds):
-
Stone: Lab-created Ruby, 9x7 mm – the lovechild of alchemy and elegance.
-
Halo: 18 round-cut white Sapphires (because one stone is never enough, and this is a party).
-
Gold: A saucy duo of solid 9ct Yellow and White Gold.
-
Size: Approx. 18.5mm x 11mm, including the bale – not too big, not too polite.

Arrives swaddled in a pristine, eco-friendly jewellery box, because I care about both sparkle and sustainability. The fancy boxes in the photos are just posing. Yours will be fresh, clean, and smugly recyclable.
💍 GEMOLOGY GOSSIP – aka “Sparkly Facts for Impressing Dinner Guests”
Rubies are the moody redheads of the gem world – all passion, power, and a tendency to steal the spotlight. The name comes from “rubers”, Latin for red, but let’s be honest, it really stands for ridiculously stunning. Back in the day, they were known as “ratnaraj” – Sanskrit for “King of Gems” – because even ancient royalty knew a good stone when they saw one.
Our Ruby here? She's lab-created, which means she has all the chemical, optical, and “please stare at me” properties of a natural Ruby, but without the ethically questionable backstory or the terrifying price tag. She’s made from real corundum, infused with chromium (the stuff that gives Rubies their iconic red glow), and grown in a high-tech crystal baby incubator.
Still not convinced? Experts often can’t tell the difference without a microscope, a science degree, and a small existential crisis. So, unless you’re planning to take your pendant to the Gemological Institute for dinner, you’re good.
Meanwhile, those white Sapphires? They’re not Diamonds – they’re cooler. Slightly hazy, very chic, and giving off “French girl who works in a bookshop and makes her own kombucha” energy.
🎁 PERFECT FOR MOMENTS WHEN YOU NEED TO OUTSHINE EVERYONE ELSE
-
A wedding (cue emotional-but-glam tears)
-
An anniversary (15th or 40th – or, frankly, any one you remembered)
-
Valentine’s Day (because flowers wilt and chocolates vanish)
-
Just another Thursday (because why the hell not?)
I sell my pendants and chains separately, because we’re adults with taste. Want a delicate chain? Go wild. Want to suspend it from a chunky choker like a '90s pop diva? Also correct. I do offer discounts on chains when bought with a pendant, because I’m not a heartless goblin.
Can’t see what you’re after? Drop me a line – I’ve got more sparkle in stock than I dare put online.
