{"product_id":"vintage-14k-yellow-gold-white-star-sapphire-ring-3-0-carats","title":"Vintage 14K Gold Natural White Star Sapphire Ring","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eA striking vintage ring crafted in 14K yellow gold and centered with an approximately 3.0 carat natural white star sapphire. Cut as a smooth cabochon, the sapphire displays the beautiful optical phenomenon known as asterism, where intersecting bands of reflected light form a star across the surface of the stone under directional light.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe softly colored sapphire provides a wonderful contrast against the warmth of the yellow gold, while the substantial setting gives the ring a strong presence on the hand. Rather than relying on faceting for sparkle, the beauty of this stone comes from the way light moves across its domed surface, causing the star to appear and shift as the ring moves.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eStar sapphires form their characteristic effect from oriented needle-like inclusions within the sapphire. When the stone is cut into a cabochon in the proper orientation, light reflecting from those inclusions produces the rays visible across the surface. Because this phenomenon depends on both the internal structure of the sapphire and the way it is cut, each star sapphire has its own appearance and character.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe result is a wonderfully unusual vintage ring whose beauty really comes alive in motion.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eDetails:\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eEra: Vintage, Late 20th Century\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e Metal: 14K Yellow Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e Stone: White Star Sapphire\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e Cut: Cabochon\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e Stone Weight: Approx. 3.0 ct\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e Optical Phenomenon: Asterism\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e Ring Size: Approx. 8.25\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e Weight: 10.4 g\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e Top Measurements: Approx. 12.67 × 20.40 mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e Base Shank Width: Approx. 4.19 mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e Height Off Finger: Approx. 8.94 mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSizing is available for an additional cost.
