Exquisite 18kt Yellow Gold Ring with Rare 22ct Untreated Color-Change Star Sapphire & Vintage Diamonds
This hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind ring is a bold testament to both natural wonder and artisan craftsmanship. At its center lies an extraordinary 22-carat color-change star sapphire, a gem of unmatched beauty and exceptional rarity. This gemstone has been certified by the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) as completely untreated—a crucial distinction in a market where heat and diffusion treatments are common. Such purity only amplifies its value and collectibility.
Set in a commanding 22-gram 18kt yellow gold mount, the ring has a rich, luxurious presence. The sapphire displays both strong asterism (a luminous six-rayed star that glides across the surface) and a dramatic color shift, transitioning from a velvety bluish-violet in daylight to a sumptuous purple under incandescent light. The combination of these optical effects—asterism and color change—is exceptionally rare, and virtually unheard of in a gemstone of this size, clarity, and untreated status.
Surrounding the sapphire are 1.0 carat total weight of old European cut diamonds, boasting VS-SI clarity and G-H color. Their soft, vintage sparkle is the perfect complement to the sapphire’s celestial glow, lending a timeless elegance to the bold design.
The Mystique of the Star Sapphire:
For millennia, star sapphires have been surrounded by legend and spiritual significance. Ancient cultures revered them as stones of destiny, believing the star was a guiding force—symbolizing faith, hope, and destiny. They were worn by priests, kings, and explorers as talismans of protection and divine favor.
The color-change star sapphire, however, is a gemological marvel of the highest order. Its ability to shift hues depending on the light adds an ethereal quality, representing transformation, inner strength, and spiritual clarity. To find one of this size, with sharp asterism and certified untreated by the GIA, places this stone in the uppermost echelon of rare and collectible gemstones.
This ring is more than a piece of jewelry—it is a legacy, a confluence of nature’s artistry, ancient lore, and masterful goldsmithing. A treasure destined for a discerning collector, connoisseur, or visionary ready to wear the cosmos on their hand.
