Star Sapphire Ring in 18ct Gold

Dating to the 1970s, this ring is set in rich 18ct gold and centers on a 3.05 carat cabochon star sapphire of a subtle periwinkle to grey color. Across its surface, a six-rayed star emerges and recedes with the movement of light—moderate in strength, yet beautifully centered, this ring boasts a hypnotic self possession. The sapphire measures approximately 4.25 × 3.36 mm, with a softly opaque body, typical of stones exhibiting asterism. The ring bears an owl import mark, indicating European importation, alongside an unidentified maker’s mark, offering a small and rather charming mystery for its next custodian. Materials and Features: Star sapphire (3.05 cts), 18ct gold Age/Origin: Likely European import, circa 1970s Ring Size: 10 Weight: 6.5g Condition: Excellent vintage condition; star centers properly with moderate asterism.
