" Star sapphires are so-called because in the right lighting conditions, they display a fine six-rayed star of light that plays across its surface. This phenomenon, known as 'asterism', is caused by a finely intersecting network of needle like crystals of rutile within the stone, aligned with the sapphire's structure in three directions at 60 degrees. This star sapphire is a dreamy violet colour, with a good, well-centred star, its beautiful body colour brought out by its simple, attractive rose gold mount. This ring is beautifully simple and feminine, wonderful for daily wear."

What does my gemstone mean?
Sapphire
The bold azure blue of a sapphire is thought to represent the study of the stars- this is obvious when we notice the resemblance between a sapphire's deep hue and the colour of the night sky. The name sapphire is derived from the Latin ‘saphirus,’ which directly translates to ‘blue.’ Sapphires are symbolic of luck, loyalty, happiness and love.
