Byzantine Inspired Ruby Pendant Necklace in Silver

This shield inspired ruby pendant necklace in gold or silver has elaborate granulation, a fine bail and is supplied on a chain. The shield carries at its centre a beautiful, round, 2mm ruby in an exquisitely rustic but fine setting It feels worthy of a warrior princess and has the most exquisite sheen to the lightly textured surface.
It's reminiscent of ancient Etruscan or Byzantine amulets with its medallion shape. It’s made in a lightly rustic manner but delicate enough to be worn by anyone, so why not show yourself some love and say it with rubies.

This silver ruby pendant can also be used as a charm for a bracelet. If you intend to use on a bracelet please let me know and I will supply with a ring rather than a chain so that it can be attached to the bracelet.

If you would like a different stone such as sapphire please get in touch. Available in silver, yellow, white and rose gold in various purities.

BRAND HISTORY AND ETHICS
The name Seraga comes from the name of my father, Serag, a Coptic Egyptian. He led me through the early part of the path that is my life, encouraging my talents to flourish and so it felt appropriate to name my company after him and the ancestry that has inspired me. In ancient Egypt, jewellery was of huge importance, as was gold and other riches. In particular, I love the ancient technique of granulation, where tiny balls of precious metal are added to the metal surface for decoration. Where possible, I try to combine the luxury of these ancient jewels with the wonder of the natural world, such as ancient English woodland and the beauty of the British seaside.

I believe in the time honoured tradition of my art, that is to make each item with love and the great care it merits. Every piece of jewellery is handmade in my small workshop by the coast in Lyme Regis, Dorset. No piece is exactly the same.

I put a lot of love into each piece I make and I hope you love your piece as much as I enjoyed making it.

With love from Lyme Regis.
