Ruby necklace and pendant designers in the UK, featuring natural untreated gemstones, ethically sourced materials, unique handcrafted styles; affordable bespoke / commissioned pieces and ready to wear collections.

The most popular ruby necklace designs include single ruby pendants on gold / silver chains, however some designers create more intricate pieces of ruby jewellery using a variety of cabochons or droplets for a more regal eveningwear style. Although many pieces may be affordable only to those who are investment jewellery buyers, there are select pieces that use natural rubies which are quite affordable.

Turning Heads Ruby Necklace

One affordable ruby jewellery outlet is a small design company called Turning Heads. They feature pieces like the ruby and iolite necklace that uses about a dozen ruby gems, mixed with faceted iolite stones and gold accents to create a collar necklace that costs only £325. The gems are ethically sourced, and many of the Turning Heads creations use the RubyFair gemstones so you can feel sure that the mining was done in an environmentally conscious fashion and the stones are not helping to promote human misery or suffering, as well as being of the finest quality, untreated and un-enhanced. The Turning Heads designers offer several ready to wear collections that include ruby pendant necklaces that are very delicate, as well as bespoke and commissioned creations that are quite affordable considering the quality of the stones and metals used.
