About 6mm Created Blue Star Sapphire Sterling Silver Stud

Fascinating Brilliance! This stone is reminiscent of the vintage "Lindy" synthetic Star Sapphire of the 50s thru 70s. Unlike the "Lindy" which resembles a "painted" on star, lab-grown Star Sapphires present a distinctive six ray star, easily visible under any light source. The star effect, known as an "asterism", is more defined in a lab-grown Sapphire. They are identical in chemical composition, brilliance, and physical appearance as their natural counterpart, however they have fewer flaws, are not mined from the ground, and are much less expensive. They are an extremely durable stone with a Mohs scale hardness or 9 (a Diamond is 10). Stones are 6mm bezel mounted in 925 Sterling Silver. 6mm is about the size of a large green pea (Please see reference photos). The posts are heavy duty and slightly longer than standard (.036/19 ga. x 7/16"L). Polishing cloth for all types jewelry included. Shipped in gift box.Two types of 925 Sterling backs are included for preference or just to have a backup pair (Rubber core bullet style and traditional friction catch).Hypoallergenic Titanium version available in my shop Salish Sea Inspirations.
