Tanzanian Ruby Hand Carved Vegan Silk Leaf Necklace

A stunning and precious Tanzanian ruby hand carved leaf strung on vegan silk thread, finished with either recycled sterling silver, 14ct gold plated or 9ct gold fastenings. A high vibe piece with a minimalist feel; one you can wear comfortably every day, layered or on its own.

PLEASE NOTE: some of the ruby leaves are especially dainty (10mm).

Set in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, the Longido region of northern Tanzania is known for producing rubies with a vivid natural colour and a rich pink to red glow. Rubies from this area often carry a strong energy of grounding and vitality, shaped by the unique metamorphic conditions that formed them. Longido material has long been valued by carvers and collectors for its character, depth of colour and connection to one of East Africa’s most storied gem localities.

Please choose a length of thread, and be precise if you'd like it to fit close to the neck. Be mindful to avoid making it too tight; we want this to be a comfortable talismanic necklace that you can barely feel.

✧ CRYSTAL MEANING ✧

Where are my fellow cancerians? Ruby is one of four precious gemstones (including diamond, emerald and sapphire) known for its rarity and hardness (second only to Diamond). It is a powerful, fiery crystal, known for kicking one's butt into gear. It is a talisman for passion, protection, and prosperity. It aids in attracting romantic love and passion, but also personal passion and drive. It is a stone to push your life forward, and overcome common obstacles that hold you back.

"Ruby actively stimulates the Base Chakra, increasing vitality and chi, the life-force energy, throughout the physical body and into the spirit. It promotes a clear mind, increased concentration and motivation, and brings a sense of power to the wearer, a self-confidence and determination that overcomes timidity and propels one toward prosperity and achievement. Ruby initiates the sensual pleasures of life. It stirs the blood and stimulates the heart, encouraging one to enjoy being in the physical world. It increases desire and sexual energy, and may be used to activate the kundalini" (crystalvaults.com)
