Vintage Ruby Rondelle Bead Necklace in 14K Yellow Gold

This graduated ruby bead necklace is strung with faceted rondelle beads in a rich raspberry red. The beads range from 6.2mm to 12.2mm, growing larger toward the center of the strand, and each one is individually hand knotted. Faceting across every bead surface creates a subtle shimmer as the necklace moves (best shown in the video). The rubies present natural inclusions and variations throughout, giving each bead its own character. Total estimated ruby weight is 295ctw.
