In celebration of their ruby wedding anniversary, our client chose this stunning Star Ruby to be set in a shining gold band, accompanied by six round brilliant-cut diamonds.

A ruby is considered a Star Ruby when a three-point or six-point asterism, or star if you will, appears within the stone. This star is created when tiny fibers of rutile, also known as “silk,” have light reflected off of them in such a way that a star shape is formed. This occurrence is so unique and rare that it makes these stones extremely desirable and sought after!

Star rubies are cut into cabochons in order to display the rare star design as effectively as possible.
