This elegant ring is a celestial phenomenon. In a narrow frame of platinum and sparkling diamonds, it presents a wonderful sapphire from Ceylon in bright sky blue - a color reminiscent of a summer sky or a view of cosmic clouds. The large cabochon weighing around 18.40 ct is half transparent, half translucent. The light glides through it as if through a light blue mist. Here and there, delicate natural inclusions light up like mysterious apparitions, sometimes white, sometimes more intense blue. But not all the light shines deep into the stone. Some of it remains on its surface, where it creates a delicate star. In fact, the stone is a star sapphire, which further enhances the cosmic impression of the piece of jewellery. Star sapphires are often opaque and not transparent, as the effect, also known as asterism, is created by orientated inclusions of the finest crystal needles in the stone. A stone like this, which allows a glimpse into its interior and in which transparency and inclusions are attractively balanced, is therefore rare and particularly precious. The cool, elegant impression of the ring and the cut of the diamonds allow us to date the ring to the first decades of the 20th century. An independent expert opinion on the materials is enclosed with the ring.
