Simple yet dramatic, this lovely ring features a magical star sapphire in a classic gold setting. Star sapphires feature a particular phenomenon called asterism, which occurs when an abundance of needle-like rutile inclusions align themselves perpendicular to the crystal axes as the sapphire grows. When cut in a cabochon, the end effect makes it appear as though a skinny six-rayed star is hovering over and dancing about on the stone's surface. We love the way the golden sheen of the star and its slim arms are enhanced by the yellow gold mount and six tapered claw-like prongs. A piece like this is a must-have for any lover of gemstones.
