ABOUT THE ITEM
Star sapphire is a unique gem known for its phenomenon called asterism. This star effect is created by many parallel rutile needle inclusions that intersect at 60° angles. Synthetic star sapphires will have a perfectly centered, well-defined star while natural star sapphires will often have an off-centered star.
This brand new, custom made ring features a 6.33 carat natural purple-pink star sapphire mounted in a platinum ring with a satin finish. Star sapphires are commonly heated to improve their appearance. However, this natural star sapphire has not been heated, adding to its rarity. It has a wonderful purple-pink hue with an almost-centered 6-ray star. Inside the ring is hallmarked "PLAT".
