The king of gemstones, in the shape of love
Ruby has been called the king of gemstones for millennia — the stone of passion, vitality, and devotion. Cut into a heart and set in warm yellow gold, it becomes a wearable love letter. If she was born in July, it is also her birthstone: our July birthstone guide covers everything that makes ruby so beloved, and our ruby meaning guide explores the symbolism behind the stone.
A real ruby, grown with intention
The heart-cut center stone is a genuine lab-grown ruby — chemically and optically identical to a mined ruby, with the same rich red fire and hardness, created in a controlled lab environment. You get the real stone, honestly labeled, at an accessible price.
Warm gold, kind to skin
14K yellow gold vermeil over solid 925 sterling silver gives this necklace the luxurious warmth of real gold with a hypoallergenic precious-metal core that will not turn your skin green. It sits beautifully alongside the rest of our gold vermeil jewelry, and pairs naturally with other July birthstone jewelry for a coordinated gift.

Heart Ruby Necklace FAQs
Is the ruby real?
Yes — the heart-cut center stone is a genuine lab-grown ruby, chemically and optically identical to a mined ruby, with the same vivid red color and durability.
What is the difference between lab-grown and natural ruby?
Both are real ruby. Lab-grown rubies form in a controlled environment rather than in the earth, which makes them more accessible and guarantees consistent, vivid color.
Is ruby the July birthstone?
Yes — ruby is the official July birthstone, symbolizing passion, vitality, and protection, which makes this heart pendant a favorite July birthday gift.
Is it real gold?
The necklace is 14K yellow gold vermeil: a thick layer of real 14K gold over solid 925 sterling silver — genuine gold warmth with a precious-metal core.
Will it turn my skin green?
No. Gold vermeil over solid sterling silver is hypoallergenic and will not discolor your skin. That only happens with low-quality or fake metals.
What does a ruby heart necklace symbolize?
The ruby has symbolized passionate, devoted love for centuries, and the heart shape makes that meaning unmistakable — a natural choice for anniversaries, Valentine's Day, and promises.
How hard is the ruby?
Ruby is 9 on the Mohs scale, one of the hardest gemstones after diamond, and the bezel setting protects the stone. Remove the necklace before showering, swimming and exercise.
Is it good for layering?
Very — the minimalist heart pendant is sized to layer beautifully with longer chains or sit alone as a delicate everyday statement.
Is this a good anniversary gift?
Absolutely. Ruby is the traditional gem of passionate love and marks major anniversaries, making this pendant a meaningful anniversary, birthday, or Valentine's gift.
Do you have this design in other metals?
Yes — the heart ruby necklace is also available in 14K rose gold vermeil for a softer, blush-toned look.
How do I care for it?
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear and store in the included velvet box, away from harsh chemicals and perfumes.
