Victorian 18ct Gold, Star Ruby & Natural Split Pearl Cluster Ring

750X
120 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A beautiful and unusual ring that was made circa 1880-1900. It has been claw set with a star ruby that is surrounded by small natural split pearls.  A ruby is considered a Star Ruby when a three-point or six-point asterism, or star, appears within the stone. This star is created when tiny fibres of rutile, also known as “silk,” have light reflected off of them in such a way that a star shape is formed. Star rubies are cut into cabochons in order to display the rare star design as effectively as possible as in this example.

The ring itself offsets the ruby with the pretty pierced shoulders and the creamy natural pearls.
