Ethereal Hold Ruby Pendant Necklace in Black Ruthenium
The Ethereal Hold Ruby Necklace is a dramatic ruby pendant necklace in blackened 925 sterling silver — a deep-red lab-grown ruby cradled in a pair of sculpted hands finished in dark black ruthenium, where passion and protection intertwine under a blood-moon glow.
Deep red against midnight black
Ruby is the stone of passion, courage, and devotion — and here its deep crimson glows all the more against a dark black ruthenium finish. The center stone is a genuine lab-grown ruby, honestly labeled, held in the signature Ethereal Hold sculpted-hand setting: two hands cradling the stone as a symbol of protection and love. Our ruby meaning guide explores its rich symbolism.
Gothic drama, meaningful design
The blackened finish gives this ruby pendant a gothic, celestial edge — a statement piece for lovers of dark, fantasy-inspired jewelry. Ruby is also the July birthstone, making it a meaningful July birthday gift. Our July birthstone guide tells the full story.
