July Ovalado Pendant

This July Ovalado Pendant by Pamela Love places a lab-grown ruby within a warm, irregular gold-plated brass setting that gives the vivid stone an almost ancient character. The cabochon’s saturated red tone evokes ruby’s longstanding associations with passion, courage, love, and vitality, while the softened molten bezel celebrates imperfection rather than rigid symmetry. A Japanese silk cord keeps the pendant tactile and informal, allowing the gemstone to feel like a personal amulet rather than traditional birthstone jewelry. Wear it for a July birth, as a marker of creative fire, or simply because the symbolism resonates. The combination of red, gold, and silk gives the piece particular warmth and intensity.
