The Joli Cœur necklace in rose gold and ruby

The Joli Cœur necklace in rose gold and ruby is characterised by its three-claw setting, which gives the pendant a triangular silhouette, although the ruby is cut in the round. The deep red of the stone is enhanced by the soft, gentle colour of the rose gold, and the diamond-link chain brings out the jewel's brilliance. The result is an elegant yet feminine creation that charms the soul!

For the Little Story

Ruby is a variety of corundum whose fiery colour is the result of the presence of traces of chromium in its crystalline structure. With its remarkable hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, ruby ranks just behind diamond in terms of scratch resistance, making it an ideal choice for everyday jewellery. Originating deep in the Earth, the gem forms through complex geological processes, creating crystals of rare beauty. Carrying the energy of fire, rubies have been a source of inspiration for jewellery designers for centuries. Its intense hue and chromatic depth make it a coveted gem, perfect for adorning exceptional rings, necklaces and earrings.

Jeweller's word

To create the illusion of a triangular shape for the pendant, despite the ruby being round brilliant cut, we have strategically placed two claws three-quarters of a turn around the gem, while the third is positioned at noon. A thin clasp is carefully placed above this third claw, ensuring the pendant is worn in a balanced manner.
