On either side of the bezel set sapphire, there is a natural round brilliant diamond. Notice the ‘star’ setting, isn’t it a beautiful embellishment? We think so!
What do you know about ‘star sapphires’? If not much, then let me explain. They are called this because they display a fascinating whiteish ‘star’ in natural daylight. This is caused by a natural phenomenon called asterism. Asterism occurs when a sapphire (or another gemstone) contains inclusions of tiny, needle-like crystals, typically of the mineral rutile, arranged in a specific pattern. These rutile inclusions are aligned so that when light hits the stone's surface, it reflects off these inclusions, creating a star-shaped pattern.
Most star sapphires tend to be grayish-blue. A purple one is so much prettier!
We purchased a group of 5 - 6mm purplish star sapphires and designed this collection to feature them. Most star sapphires are a grayish-blue color. So when we saw this beautiful shade, we snapped them up!
