Burmese Blue Star Sapphire Engagement Ring in White Gold

Blue star sapphires are a rare and phenomenal subvariety of sapphire, which belongs to the corundum—the most popular gemstone group and the traditional birthstone for September. Unlike faceted sapphires, these are cut as rounded cabochons to showcase a six-ray star pattern, known as asterism, when light hits the gem. The best quality gems will show a strong star with an intense blue hue and a transparent background, but a gem rarely does all three. This gem boasts a fantastic blue color, but with only moderate transparency and a moderate star rating, making it more affordable. The asterism remains easily visible and pleasing, and the blue sapphire, exceedingly rare due to its Burmese origin and lack of treatment, boasts an incredible color. We set it in a simple white gold three-stone ring with the star sapphire and a diamond on either side to focus on this gem. All of these are set in low-profile bezel settings. This would make a great star sapphire engagement ring for someone seeking something unique or slightly out of this world.

Details: custom 18k white gold 3-stone ring bezel-set with 3.95ct round blue star sapphire (Burma, untreated) and .14ctw round diamond accents (SI GH).
