ruby bee necklace

Listings show a mix of solid and plated metals: solid 14k gold or 925 sterling silver, and plated finishes such as 14K gold over sterling silver and 18kt yellow gold over sterling silver. Some items are offered in either 14k gold or 925 sterling silver.

The necklaces most commonly use a lobster-claw (lobster) clasp, which has a spring mechanism for secure fastening. At least one listing specifies a cable-chain style.

Common chain lengths listed include 15" and 18", and some designs include a 2" extender. Pendant drops noted in listings are about 1½" long with an approximate drop width of 5/8".

Listed gemstone shapes include heart-shaped rubies and round citrines and spinels. Cuts are described in the listings using terms such as “Good‑Cut.”

Bee charms are listed at about 7 mm across. Typical pendant dimensions shown in listings are roughly 1½" in length with a width of about 5/8".

Listings describe the stones as natural in origin and note heat treatment (terms in listings include “Heat‑Treated” or “Heated”).

One listing specifies a chain size of about 1.5 mm. Other listings describe the chain style (for example, cable chain) but do not state a thickness.
