Burmese Blue Star Sapphire Engagement Ring in White Gold

Blue star sapphires are a remarkable and rare subvariety of sapphire, which belongs to the corundum group—the most popular gemstone category and the traditional birthstone for September. Unlike traditional faceted sapphires, blue star sapphires are cut as rounded cabochons. This unique cut allows them to display a six-ray star pattern, known as asterism, when light strikes the gem.

The highest quality blue star sapphires exhibit a strong star, an intense blue hue, and a transparent background; however, it is rare for a gem to possess all three attributes. The sapphire featured here showcases a beautiful blue color along with moderate transparency and a moderate star quality, which makes it more affordable. Despite this, the asterism is still easily visible and attractive, while the blue sapphire's incredible color is exceedingly rare due to its untreated Burmese origin. 

We have set this stunning gemstone in a custom 18k white gold three-stone ring, featuring a blue star sapphire flanked by diamonds on either side. All the stones are securely set in low-profile bezel settings, highlighting the beauty of the star sapphire. This engagement ring would be perfect for someone looking for a unique or extraordinary piece. 

Details: Custom 18k white gold three-stone ring, bezel-set with a 3.95ct round blue star sapphire (Burma, untreated) and .14ct total weight of round diamond accents (SI GH).
