Item Description
Star Sapphires are among the most highly sought after of all the Sapphire varieties. These stones are cut when thin, fibrous inclusions are are oriented inside of the Sapphire crystal at the correct angle to properly show off the "legs" of the star. When these inclusions are numerous enough to make the stone translucent or opaque, they allow light to be reflected in such a way that a star floats across the top of the stone with movement. It is an amazing phenomenon that is only seen in a few gems around the world. This attractive 10 kt White Gold ring features a classic rich blue color Star Sapphire gem. The actual "legs" of the star in this stone are rather sharp, with very little in the way of breaks and excellent consistency throughout. A great representation of this material. Very reasonably priced just for the Gold alone.
