Deep red has always carried a certain weight in Indian jewellery, and ruby is exactly why. Zalkari's ruby necklace collection sets genuine ruby stones into 925 sterling silver, sometimes alongside CZ detailing for a fuller ruby diamond necklace look. This page covers our full range of ruby necklace designs - from a single pendant to a more elaborate statement piece - along with what to check before you buy a ruby stone necklace online.
Shop Ruby Necklaces by Style
Ruby shows up across a few different necklace formats in our collection:
Charm & Pendant Ruby Necklaces
Our Charm Necklaces collection includes ruby-set pendant designs that pair with a chain of your choice - an easy, versatile way to wear the stone daily.
Everyday Ruby Necklaces
For a lighter, subtler take, our Everyday Necklaces range includes smaller ruby accents built for daily and office wear.
Statement Ruby Necklaces
Our Statement Necklaces collection features fuller ruby detailing, often paired with CZ, for weddings and festive occasions.
Ruby Choker Necklaces
If you want the stone to sit higher and closer to the neck, browse our choker necklaces collection for ruby-set designs in a shorter silhouette.
Explore more of our necklace collection, including Silver Necklaces, diamond necklace designs for a different kind of sparkle, or Gold Plated Necklace pieces if you prefer a warmer tone alongside the same red stone.
How to Choose the Right Ruby Necklace
A ruby necklace is a bigger investment than a plain silver chain, so it's worth getting a few things right:
1. Look at Colour Saturation
A deeper, more vivid red ruby is generally more prized than a paler pink-red stone - though both are genuine ruby. Go with the shade you're personally drawn to.
2. Choose Your Chain Length
A 16-18 inch chain sits at the collarbone and suits higher necklines and office wear, while a 20-24 inch chain works better with deeper necklines or a layered look.
3. Decide on the Setting
Prong settings let more light through the ruby for maximum sparkle. Bezel settings protect the stone's edge better, which matters if the necklace will see daily wear.
4. Set Your Budget
Zalkari's ruby necklace designs span Necklace Under ₹1,500, Necklaces Under ₹3,000, Necklaces Under ₹5,000, and Necklaces Above ₹5,000 for statement and bridal-ready pieces.
Ruby Necklace Buying Guide
About Ruby as a Gemstone
Ruby is a variety of corundum, coloured red by trace chromium, and sits at 9 on the Mohs hardness scale - nearly as hard as diamond, which makes it genuinely durable for regular jewellery wear.
What Is 925 Sterling Silver?
925 sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver alloyed with 7.5% copper for strength - the internationally recognised hallmark standard, and the base metal used across every ruby necklace in this collection.
Are Ruby Necklaces Good for Daily Wear?
Yes - ruby's hardness makes it one of the more resilient coloured gemstones for everyday jewellery. Even so, remove it before swimming or showering to protect the silver setting and chain.
Do Ruby Necklaces Need Special Care?
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid chemical dips on pieces where ruby is paired with CZ detailing, since harsh cleaners can dull the smaller accent stones over time.

What chain length works best for a ruby pendant?
A 16-18 inch chain suits higher necklines and everyday wear, while a 20-24 inch chain suits deeper necklines or a layered look.
Can I wear a ruby necklace every day?
Yes - ruby is one of the more durable coloured gemstones, close to diamond hardness. Still, remove it before showering or swimming to protect the silver chain and setting.
How do I clean a ruby necklace safely?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth for regular cleaning. Avoid chemical dips, especially on designs where ruby is paired with CZ accents, which can dull over time with harsh cleaners.
What's the difference between a ruby necklace and a ruby diamond necklace?
A ruby necklace features the red stone on its own, while a ruby diamond necklace pairs ruby with CZ or diamond-style accents for additional sparkle around the central stone.
