Habiba. Ibiza, the Turquoise Boldness of Summer
Some stories start long before the design.
The Habiba necklace was born from a name Marguerite Msika, known by all as Habiba. A woman of elegance, character, and quiet strength. Her life, her presence, her rituals inspired this piece. She didn’t need to speak loudly to make a statement. She simply was refined, radiant, unforgettable. She was an actress, and dancer, was often compared to Marilyn Monroe but decades before Monroe became a global icon.
A necklace with a name
In Arabic, “Habiba” means beloved. And this necklace is exactly that cherished, personal, essential. It carries her spirit, and now, it’s ready to carry yours.
Each bead was chosen to feel like it came from memory. The matte turquoise evokes cool stone, sea breeze, and summer skin. The gold details especially the twelve golden beads bring back warmth, sun, and heritage. And the vintage coin is a nod to legacy: a reminder that some stories are meant to be passed down.
From tradition to destination
Ruth pieces always begin with emotion.
This summer, the Habiba necklace evokes the relaxed elegance of Ibiza not the party, but the slowness: the linen mornings, the long lunches, the unapologetically bold women who carry both softness and fire. The matte turquoise beads recall Mediterranean water and mineral textures. The twelve golden beads honor the 12 tribes. A Ruth signature. And the vintage coin celebrates continuity: what’s passed down, worn close, and never forgotten.
How to wear it
Habiba was made to follow you from day to night.
In the morning: with a white linen dress, bronzed skin, and gold hoops.
In the evening: paired with silk and tanned shoulders.
It’s not about what you wear it with it’s about what it brings out in you. This necklace elevates the simplest outfit and finishes the most elegant one.
A statement that’s never loud
Habiba is not trendy. She’s timeless. She’s the kind of piece you pack first, and keep close.
She was once called the “Marilyn Monroe of North Africa.” But the truth is, she came first.
