The 14k white gold brings out the hues of the grey star sapphire and the sparkle of the diamonds, creating a beautiful design.

Damage: Age appropriate wear. There is some wear on the finish of the band and the star sapphire has some natural inclusions, but neither of these detract from the beauty of the ring.

The Art Deco era is famous for being the \"Gatsby\" or \"Roaring Twenties\" era. A lot of gorgeous and timeless designs in jewelry came out of this period. Jewelry from this period was most often crafted between 1920 and 1940. Art Deco jewelry sometimes featured white gold or platinum, geometric designs, European cut diamonds, filigree, and calibre cut stones that are specifically cut to fit the design of the piece. During the Art Deco period jewelers often made jewelry upon custom order, this would often take weeks to months to completely craft by hand.
Star Sapphires are natural stones, which are defined by their asterism. These stones can be seen in a wide variety of hues, with blue and black being the more common hues. With the exception of black star sapphires, which are formed by the inclusion of hematite, star sapphires gain their asterism through very small inclusions of the mineral rutile. Most star sapphires have an imperfect or lighter definition asterism due to the difficulty of attaining a perfect cut on these stones. A star sapphire with “perfect” asterism is usually a sign of treatment. However, the iridescence of these stones makes them perfect for use in jewelry.
Diamond is derived from the Greek work, “adamas”, which means “unbreakable.” Diamonds are extremely rare, with the earliest diamonds being discovered in India around the 4th century BC and being traded along the Silk Road; the trade route between India and China. During the latter half of the 18th century, diamonds were discovered in South Africa. Diamonds are renowned for their strength and brilliance of color and ability to reflect and disperse light. This is what gives them such a brilliant sparkle. Colors range in blue, yellow, brown, green, purple, pink, orange, and red; the less color a diamond has, the higher its grade is. Diamonds range from 1 billion to 3.5 billion years old, and because of their age and qualities, have become the symbol for love across many cultures.All packages are sent via USPS First Class Insured Mail unless another shipping option is chosen by the buyer.
