One of a Kind Sapphire and Ruby Necklace

I have been wanting to create a special piece of jewelry inspired by my favorite flower pots this year.   (Photos included)

Before the sun came up, I thought I was working with a Ruby teardrop.  But once the morning sun shined into the studio I noticed that my Ruby looks more like a purplish Sapphire.    

The teardrop is 10mm / approximately 7 carats.  It is topped with a cluster of faceted red Ruby and Padparadscha Sapphire rondels.  The total gemstone drop hangs approximately 5/8" from the 17" sterling silver chain.  The necklace is finished with faceted Rubies connecting an oval lobster clasp and 2" extender chain.

Since Rubies are also red Sapphires and Sapphires double refract sometimes I find these magical stones that look very different based on the environment.  Is this a Ruby or a purplish toned Sapphire ... I will let you decide.  Either way, it truly is a magical, color shifting gift from mother earth.

PS.  The purchase of this necklace also qualifies you for our current FREE GIFT with purchase ... which happens to be a Ruby earring that would make a lovely set.   Please be sure to add ERD3725/free gift to your cart so we know you want it.
