Marcus Tempus
Product Story
Inspired by the elegance and symmetry of the Art Deco era, this exquisite 18ct white gold ruby and diamond pendant celebrates exceptional craftsmanship and the enduring beauty of natural coloured gemstones.
At the heart of the design, a brilliant natural diamond appears to float within an open geometric frame, beautifully surrounded by a vibrant border of natural rubies. Delicate diamond-set detailing softens the clean architectural lines, creating a perfect balance between vintage-inspired elegance and contemporary refinement.
Expertly crafted in luxurious 18ct white gold, the cool brilliance of the precious metal enhances the vivid crimson tones of the rubies while allowing the diamonds to sparkle with exceptional fire. Measuring approximately 12mm wide, the pendant offers a refined yet eye-catching presence, making it equally suited to everyday elegance and special occasions.
Suspended from a 16-inch 18ct white gold chain, it sits beautifully at the neckline, whether worn alone as a signature piece or layered with other treasured favourites.
Part of The House of Gemstones by Marcus Tempus, this pendant reflects our passion for natural coloured gemstones, thoughtful design and jewellery created to be admired for generations.

Clean ruby jewellery gently with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush. Store separately from softer gemstones and avoid harsh chemicals around delicate settings.
Gemologist’s Insight
The finest rubies display a rich, vivid red with excellent saturation. Subtle variations in tone and natural inclusions reflect their authentic origin and create the depth and life that make each ruby one of a kind.
