Ruby Inset Gem

The Ruby inset gem is a bright, bold red in a rhodium-plated surround - vivid and passionate, it makes an immediate impression inside a locket. It's the July birthstone and linked to Cancer, making it a striking choice for a midsummer birthday build. Ruby has long been associated with love and passion, so it works just as well in a romantic locket as it does in a birthday one.

A gem this bold deserves the right home - my memory lockets are where to find it, and round backplates are there when you want to build it up properly.
