💜⭐ Natural Purple Star Sapphire – 1.90ct | Ceylon | Unheated & Untreated
A fascinating creation of nature, this 1.90 carat natural purple star sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) displays a beautiful natural star effect across its softly domed oval cabochon surface.
This is a completely earth-sourced natural sapphire with no treatment. Under a focused light source, its natural asterism becomes more pronounced and appears to move across the gemstone as the stone or light moves.
Its soft lavender-purple color and distinctive star make it an unusual choice for a one-of-a-kind jewelry design or natural gemstone collection.

⭐ THE BEAUTY OF A NATURAL STAR SAPPHIRE
Unlike a traditionally faceted sapphire, a star sapphire is cut as a smooth cabochon to reveal its natural optical phenomenon known as asterism.
Under directional lighting, the star becomes visible across the purple surface and can appear to travel as the gemstone moves.
Natural internal characteristics that contribute to this phenomenon are part of the individual character of genuine star sapphires.
💍 WHAT COULD YOU CREATE WITH IT?
This purple star sapphire could make a beautiful centerpiece for a:
• Bespoke star sapphire ring
• Unique engagement or promise ring
• Yellow or white gold statement ring
• Purple sapphire pendant
• Contemporary fine jewelry piece
• Natural gemstone collection
For a cooler, elegant appearance, consider white gold or platinum. Yellow gold provides a beautiful contrast with the lavender-purple color, while rose gold can create a softer romantic combination.
Jewelry makers should work from the exact 7.02 × 4.82 × 5.41 mm dimensions because cabochon gemstones require settings that accommodate their individual dome and depth.

📸 PLEASE NOTE
The visibility and sharpness of a natural star vary depending on the direction, intensity and type of lighting. A focused single light source generally displays asterism most clearly.
Gemstone color can also vary slightly between photographs, videos, lighting conditions and screens. Weight and dimensions are carefully measured; minor variations are normal for individually cut and polished natural gemstones.
Natural star sapphires can contain silk, inclusions, color zoning and minor surface characteristics associated with their natural formation and asterism.
