Ruby and Diamond Pendant

Pendants and necklaces are always a great jewelry gift - they are flexible in how you wear them, either over or under clothes; there is a huge range to suit both sexes, and pendants are one of the more accepted forms of men’s jewelry; and for both women and men, they highlight that gorgeous snug area right in the middle of the chest, where you can rest your head and hear a heartbeat … aww! If all of these reasons have led you on a search for a pendant or necklace for a birthday gift this July, then read on for our suggestions and picks of the bunch, for both women and men.

Ruby-Baguette Cut Diamond Pendant

One of the easiest ways to personalize a birthday gift this July is to choose something that incorporates a birthstone. The stone for July birthdays is the ruby, with its range of colors from the strangely named but beautiful ‘pigeon blood red’, to delicate and feminine pinks. The ruby and diamond necklace at the start of the article has a pear-cut ruby, which is one of the more popular ways to display this beautiful and easily faceted stone. It includes three brilliant cut diamonds, and comes on a white gold chain, with all the clean sparkle of silver and none of the associated skin oddities that we hear about! There is a similar pendant shown immediately above, which shows that it is not the materials that matter, but the way that you put them together … this piece has a ruby set unusually in the center of a circle of 27 baguette cut diamonds, and the pink stone seems to float in a haze of sparkling ether … gorgeous!

Heart Diamond Rose Gold necklace

If you want to look past rubies for a pendant present this July, or if you are looking for a men’s jewelry gift (the men’s range does not include any ruby jewelry), then a good way to help pick a present is using your friend or loved one’s zodiac sign. Far from being hocus pocus, if you look up the personality traits for your starsign, you’ll likely be shocked at how well they have you pegged down! In July, your loved one will either be a sensitive, emotive and charming Cancer, or a dramatic, creative and passionate Leo. Cancer runs from the 1st to the 22nd of the month, with Leo taking up the 23rd to the 31st. The heart diamond rose gold necklace shown above will be adored by your Cancerian lady - it is sweet, shows her how you feel about her, and also highlights that lovely heart beating under her bosom!

Pandora Flower Peridot and Diamond Necklace

The Pandora flower peridot necklace shown here is another perfect choice for Cancerian women. The pendant area in the front of the necklace is both delicate, to suit your sweet and sensitive lady, and asymmetrical, to reflect her charm and individuality. Shown below is the matching diamond and flower ring.
