Long believed to serve as a talisman for travelers, the star sapphire has also been deemed a stone of destiny. Their special feature called asterism gives them this mystical heritage. Asterism is caused by small needle-like inclusions of the mineral rutile. This example is a cloudy blue-gray, with the star at the center of the cabochon cut gem. During the Victorian Era, this would have been worn by a well-dressed gentleman. Today it is a piece befitting any sex. A smooth 18 karat yellow gold shank is the perfect setting for this stellar jewel, and is sure to be your go-to ring every day!
