About Raw-Cut Faceted Rubies:
These aren't your typical polished gemstones. Raw-cut faceted rubies combine the organic beauty of rough, unpolished material with the sparkle of faceted cuts. Each ruby is hand-cut to create flat surfaces (facets) that enhance brilliance while maintaining the stone's natural, earthy character.
Ruby Facts: Second only to diamonds in hardness (9 on Mohs scale), deep rich red with natural variations, symbolizes love, passion, courage, and vitality. July birthstone and 15th/40th anniversary stone.
The Artisan Craftsmanship:
Signature 5-Wire Braided Bail: This pendant features Alexa Martha's signature technique—five individual pieces of 18-gauge copper wire meticulously hand-braided into an intricate bail. The bail is then silver-soldered onto the hammer-sculpted copper donut for exceptional strength and durability.
Hammer-Textured Copper Donut: A 1-inch copper washer (24-gauge) is hand-hammered to create dimensional texture, then sculpted into a slightly domed shape. Each hammer blow is intentional, creating a pattern that catches light and adds artisan character.
Vintage Ruby Setting: The five rubies are set in a refurbished antique sterling silver pendant with chrome plating—a vintage piece given new life. The cascading design allows the rubies to move freely, creating beautiful movement and sparkle.

The sterling silver ruby setting is a refurbished antique piece—jewelry with history. By incorporating vintage elements, this necklace honors the past while creating something entirely new. It's sustainable, meaningful, and adds a layer of story to the piece.
Care Instructions:
Rubies: Extremely durable (second hardest gemstone). Simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth to maintain sparkle. Safe to wear daily.
Copper: Will develop a natural patina over time, adding warmth and vintage character. To maintain original shine, wipe with a soft cloth or use our lemon juice and salt cleaning method.
