Purple Star Sapphire
Tapered Ring
$1,490
This handmade 14K yellow gold ring features an elegant design with a purple star sapphire as the focal point. We love the tapered design and the clean look of the sapphire in a bezel. 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!
Star sapphires have been coveted for centuries. Why? Because they display a fascinating whiteish ‘star’ in natural daylight. This is caused by a natural phenomenon called asterism. Asterism happens when a sapphire (or another gemstone) contains inclusions of tiny needle-like crystals, typically of the mineral rutile, arranged in a pattern. These rutile inclusions are aligned so that when light hits the stone's surface, it reflects off these inclusions and creates a star-shaped pattern.
The ring is 4.5mm wide at the top next to the bezel, and tapers to 1.8mm wide on the bottom. It is a classic look. But you won’t find another one with this shade of purple star sapphire!
