Absolutely. Ruby is the birthstone for July, making a white gold ruby necklace a deeply meaningful gift for a July birthday. A stone of passion, courage, and enduring love, a ruby set in 18K white gold carries both powerful sentimental value and lasting worth as a piece of fine jewellery, presented in an elegant gift box.
Our rubies are natural, chosen for the intensity of their red rather than for perfect transparency. In vermeil, ruby reveals itself as rosé; in solid 18-carat gold, it takes on its classic deep red.
From delicate rosé to deep red, we choose each ruby for the beauty of its colour, then set it to last.
A stone you chose, a setting imagined for it. A creation that will belong to you alone.
Our bespoke service accompanies engagements, heirloom pieces and reinterpretation commissions. We work from a stone sourced for you, or from a stone you already own. Response within 48 hours, piece delivered within four to six weeks.
Les questions qu'on nous pose le plus souvent sur les rubis white gold necklaces : matières, entretien, symbolique et conseils en style.
White gold creates an exceptional luminous contrast with the deep red of ruby, amplifying its brilliance and chromatic intensity. Its neutral, cool tone allows the stone to command full attention, where yellow gold can introduce a warm dominance. The rhodium plating on 18k white gold also provides a modern, timeless setting, perfect for honouring the nobility of red corundum.
Since antiquity, the ruby has symbolised ardent passion, courage and vitality. Worn as a necklace, it rests close to the heart, embodying intense love and inner strength. The birthstone for July, a ruby set in white gold also represents the 40th wedding anniversary stone, celebrating a love that endures through time with brilliance and authenticity.
An AAA-quality ruby displays a deep, homogeneous red colour, free from overly dark or light zones, with a transparency that allows light to pass through the stone. At Mayuri Paris, our Thai rubies are selected for their exceptional chromatic saturation. The gemmological certification accompanying each piece guarantees the stone's authenticity and characteristics, including any heat treatment applied.
The combination of rubies and diamonds in white gold is a timeless classic of fine jewellery. Pavé or halo-set diamonds create a sparkling surround that amplifies the brilliance of the central ruby, whilst adding light and sophistication. This combination also allows you to manage your budget by distributing value across multiple stones, whilst achieving a spectacular and refined effect.
For an authentically vintage look, favour Art Deco-inspired necklaces featuring emerald-cut or baguette rubies, or halo pendants evoking the Edwardian era. Settings incorporating milgrain detailing, engravings and ruby-diamond combinations evoke the refinement of the 1920s and 1930s. Mayuri Paris offers bespoke creations that integrate these timeless stylistic codes, tailored to contemporary tastes.
The ideal shape depends on your aesthetic preferences and neckline. Round or oval rubies offer maximum brilliance and a classic style, whilst cushion or pear cuts bring a romantic and distinctive touch. Oval rubies have the advantage of visually elongating the neck, whilst a round solitaire suits every style and transitions effortlessly from day to evening.
Put on your ruby and white gold necklace after applying perfume and cosmetics, as chemicals can dull the rhodium plating. With a hardness of 9/10 on the Mohs scale, ruby resists everyday scratches, though direct impacts should be avoided. A fine 42 cm necklace slips elegantly beneath a shirt collar or rests gracefully on a décolletage, creating a subtle yet luminous focal point. Remove it before sporting or manual activities.
Burmese (Myanmar) rubies are historically the most prized for their legendary "pigeon's blood" colour, whilst stones from Mozambique and Madagascar also offer exceptional quality. At Mayuri Paris, we work primarily with Thai rubies selected for their AAA quality, and can source stones from Burma or other prestigious origins upon request for bespoke projects.
High-quality natural rubies are rare precious stones whose value tends to hold, or even appreciate, over time. Combined with 18k white gold, they represent a tangible, lasting investment. Untreated rubies, particularly those exceeding 1 carat with intense colour and minimal inclusions, offer the strongest potential for appreciation. Mayuri Paris can source these exceptional stones upon request.
Necklace layering is an elegant trend that beautifully showcases your ruby necklace. Pair it with white gold chains of varying lengths (40 cm, 45 cm, 50 cm) to create a sense of depth. Keep the ruby necklace as the central statement piece, surrounded by more delicate chains. This technique works particularly well with a fine solitaire ruby pendant on a slender chain.
Most fine jewellery rubies undergo heat treatment to intensify their colour and improve their clarity, a standard process accepted worldwide. Untreated natural rubies are considerably rarer and can cost up to 50% more. At Mayuri Paris, our rubies are predominantly heat-treated to offer outstanding value for money, with the option to source certified natural stones for discerning collectors.
A ruby and white gold necklace is a deeply symbolic and meaningful gift for life's most significant milestones. It is ideal for July birthdays (the ruby birthstone), 40th wedding anniversaries (the ruby anniversary), or to express passionate love as an alternative engagement gift. Its symbolism of courage and vitality also makes it an inspiring present to celebrate a professional achievement or a new chapter in life.
