Exquisite antique estate 5.5 carat natural white star sapphire ring in a halo of 1.75 carats of glowing ruby gemstones. The oval cab sparkles with a shimmering six-legged star (or asterism) radiating from the center of a 10K white gold with the old cut rubies set in a scalloped halo. Hard to capture in pictures, the star shifts and floats across the stone with light and movement and goes all the way to the base of the stone. The white gold is joined by a 10K yellow gold pierced gallery with thick ribbed shoulders. Star sapphires are said to bring intelligence as well as a deeper love to the wearer.

Each piece has been professionally examined and verbally appraised as well as being tested by a goldsmith for metal content. Stone carat weights stated represent approximate weights that can vary. Due to the age, antique and vintage jewelry is often not perfect and may have normal signs of surface wear, or small imperfections due to its handcrafted rather than mass-manufactured nature. This is what makes each piece special and unique!
