A Star Ruby is one of nature’s rarest and most mesmerizing treasures — a ruby that reveals a luminous six-rayed star gliding across its surface in the light. This captivating phenomenon, known as asterism, is created by fine rutile inclusions within the stone, transforming it into a living jewel that seems to glow from within.
Unlike faceted rubies, star rubies are cut as a cabochon to showcase their celestial star. The finest examples display a sharp, centered star over a richly saturated red body color — often described as velvety, deep, and romantic.
As a variety of corundum, ruby ranks 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it exceptionally durable for everyday heirloom wear. Throughout history, star rubies have been revered as stones of protection, passion, and prosperity — believed to carry a mystical energy that shields the wearer.
These Star Rubies are set in .999 Fine Silver.
