Cross pendants tend to look predictable. This D'Joy African Ruby and Moissanite swirl cross pendant doesn't. The design curves and loops rather than sitting in strict straight lines, which gives it a softer, more feminine edge than a traditional cross. Most of that loop is set with round moissanites, deliberately left bare in one section so the eye has somewhere to rest. An oval cut African ruby glowing in reddish-pink hues sits at the centre, and the choice of stone isn't accidental either, ruby's long carried the meaning of love and sacrifice, which lines up naturally with what a cross represents that is Christ's sacrifice. The open spacing throughout keeps it looking light rather than dense. This July birthstone pendant makes for a memorable personal gift.

• Curved swirl cross design, softer than traditional cross styles.
