Ruby Wire Wrapped with Copper Pendant - Compassion

To me it is fun to see the variations of the 'quality' of stones. Most of us think of a faceted little stone set in earrings or ring when we think of a ruby. That is the jeweler quality of the stone, but where does the stone come from? 

While mining for stones, there will be a vein, or pocket where the stones are mined. As they are sifting thru the ruby deposit, some portions of the vein are developed differently, in that more transparent, deep color that we are used to. 

But what about the rest of the ruby? 

This pendant is a great example of what can be done with what is discarded from the mines. 

A chunk of ruby, smoothed and formed into a cabochon with inclusions of what else may have been forming in the vein with it. 

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Ruby has been associated with energy and concentration, creativity, loyalty, honor and compassion. Ruby is also a stone of protection.  Big protection. Used to protect, family, home and possessions. It also brings spiritual wisdom. 

All of my jewelry creations are based on the metaphysical properties of the stones or the colors that are incorporated. Jewelry should be a window to our soul, a protector of our emotions and a companion to our spirit. All of my other creations come directly from my heart in hopes they touch yours as well. Celebrate yourself with healing jewelry, and other gift ideas made with love!
