Star Sapphire and Cubic Zirconia Sterling Silver Ring (6mm Lab Created)

This stone is reminiscent of the vintage "Lindy" synthetic Star Sapphire of the 50s thru 70s. The star effect, known as an "asterism", is more defined in a lab-grown Sapphire.

They are identical in chemical composition, brilliance, and physical appearance as their natural counterpart, however they have fewer flaws, are not mined from the ground, and are much less expensive. They are an extremely durable stone with a Mohs scale hardness or 9 (a Diamond is 10).

This Halo ring features a 6mm Prong mounted lab created Star Sapphire adorned with 20 round Cubic Zirconia in shared-prong settings in double rows along the shoulders, and 21 round Cubic Zirconia set in the halo that encircles the center mounting on a 2.4mm wide 925 Sterling Silver band. Polished to a bright finish. Polishing cloth and ring sizer included. Please note that the star effect or "asterism" of a Star Sapphire, is not a fixed element.

It is the result of direct light, artificial or natural. The brighter the light source, the brighter the star display. In low light or shaded settings the star will be less visible. All photos are taken with direct light.
