An unusual gemstone takes center stage in this large vintage ring from the 1970s. A violet-red ruby is set between broad gold palm fronds. The stone is opaque, not transparent, and yet it shines in a special way. When light falls on it, the stone reveals an interesting light phenomenon: a star! The star with six rays glides over the stone, indeed, it seems to float above the ruby. This reflection of light is called asterism (from the Greek ἀστήρ (aster) = "star"). This effect is created by fine crystal fibers or needles that are embedded in the gemstone and meet at one point when ideally distributed. The more evenly the needles are arranged, the more harmonious and beautiful the light star appears. The six-rayed star is particularly pronounced in our ruby. Six brilliant-cut diamonds in white gold settings add bright points of light to the ring. The ring and the waving palm fronds are made from warmly glowing, high-carat yellow gold - completing the summery color scheme. Judging by its hallmark, the ring was most likely created in Germany and is in first-class condition.
