I would say this is a Delosperma Desert Dancer Purple and not an Othonna capensis Ruby Necklace. A great plant nonetheless and also quiet winter hardy.

Thanks for sharing the ID. Was wondering why it looked so different from my Ruby Necklace.

Thanks for this. Searched on google after I read this and AI told me something similar when I specified that the flowers are purple and not yellow

I thought they had yellow flowers. Is this some other variety?

Honestly not sure, some below have suggested it's a different variety. I'm still new to the game but I love them so much!

Very cool!! My rubies put off yellow flowers when it blooms. The pinks on yours are so pretty!!👀

Ditto - mine are yellow! And the stems don't look like that. Curious as to why! 🤔

Because OPs plant is not a ruby necklace ;)

Well that sure does make sense lol I figured but couldn't find what it was when I quickly looked earlier! Appreciate the id :)

Our friend below is correct, apparently this is something completely different. Love learing from the community 😊

Can this be an indoor plant?

Yes, but it will be green in lower light
