The ruby I used has a chip on the shoulder, but it was there from the beginning. These earrings are made with a pair-shaped faceted cut of gem-quality ruby from Mozambique, wrapped in 14kgf wire. ^_^ Materials: Natural stone/Gem-quality ruby: 7x5mm Wire: 14kgf Earring findings: 14kgf *Please be careful if you have allergies. *If you are concerned about inclusions or chips that are characteristic of natural stones, please refrain from purchasing. *Each item will be carefully packaged and delivered to the customer. *Please note that the color and shape may differ slightly due to the camera.
