Star Sapphire Ring 18kw s3.95ct d.14ct si

Blue star sapphires are a rare and phenomenal sub-variety of sapphire, which belongs to corundum—the bestselling gem group and the traditional birthstone for September. Unlike faceted sapphires, these are cut as rounded cabochons to show off a six-ray star when light hits the gem, known as asterism. 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 has a fantastic blue color but only moderate transparency and a moderate star, making it more affordable. The asterism is still easily visible and pleasing, and the blue sapphire, exceedingly scarce due to its Burma origin and lack of treatment, has 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 looking for something out of the ordinary 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).
