Arts & Crafts 18ct Gold Ring set with a Star Sapphire

879Y
20 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual 18ct gold Arts and Crafts ring that was made circa 1900-1910. It has been set with a star sapphire that has an approximate weight of 4.72 carats.  Star sapphire is a variety of the gemstone sapphire that displays a reflected star of light on its surface. This phenomenon is called “asterism,” one of the optical effects that can make a gem “phenomenal.” The cabochon cut star sapphire in this ring is a beautiful greyish blue colour and clearly displays the star. The shank is typical of the Arts and Crafts period with raised gold work and rope edging.

The Details

We love to source star sapphires especially in their original antique mounts so we were thrilled to buy this unusual ring.
