Mid-Century Gents Ring with Amazing Silver Star Sapphire

In the 1950s, a right-hand star sapphire ring was a clear symbol of success for businessmen. These rings became prominent status symbols, so we often encounter mid-century star sapphire gentlemen's rings in the secondary market. However, the exceptional asterism in this particular star sapphire truly stands out. It showcases one of the strongest stars we've ever seen! Even under diffused lighting, the star glows, but the ring truly comes alive in sunlight, revealing an inner radiance. In short, this is the finest grey star sapphire we have offered. Its base color is classified as grey, but it features silvery lilac-blue tones that beautifully contrast with the textured yellow-gold setting. The ring's wide shank and inset design are classic features of its era, providing comfort and durability.
