Ruby In Zoisite Pierced Pendant from China
Ruby
Ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum and is known for its deep, vibrant colour. The red hue is caused by the presence of chromium in the crystal structure. Depending on the concentration of chromium and its origin, the colour can range from pinkish-red to dark ruby red.
Major deposits of ruby are Myanmar (Burma), Sri Lanka, Thailand, Mozambique and Madagascar. Ruby has the chemical formula Al₂O₃ and is among the hardest minerals, with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale. This makes it very suitable for use in jewellery.

Pierced Pendants
Pierced pendants are polished and cut (precious) stones with a drill hole, making them easy to wear on a cord or chain. This makes them a popular choice for jewellery. In most cases, the pendants are pierced widthwise, from left to right.
The pierced pendants are available in various shapes and sizes, including drop, oval, point and heart. Some of the range is manufactured in China, while other pendants come from Madagascar. The pierced diameter varies by model and is usually between 2 and 4 mm. We sell the pierced pendants individually, with some having a minimum order of 5 pieces. Unfortunately, we do not currently have any matching cord or chain in our range!
