1+ ct PINK STAR SAPPHIRE (lab) IN 0.925 STERLING SILVER RING, SIZE 8

Naturally occurring pink star sapphires are quite rare and quite expensive.  However, in 1949, the Linde Air Products Company of New York patented and began producing a form of gem corundum that became known as “Linde Star Sapphire.”  These laboratory-created gemstones were known for the perfection of their asterism, the phenomenon where a 6-pointed star-like pattern appears on the surface under normal light.  Linde ceased production of these stones in 1974.  Since then, other manufacturers have produced beautiful lab star sapphires.  These stones are chemically the same as natural sapphires, and with a Mohs hardness of 9, are quite durable and a thrifty alternative to their very expensive natural cousins.
