18k Gold Blue Sapphire Cabochon "Sunburst" Ring. 3/4" & 6.7g *Video*

For sale is an 18k yellow gold ring with natural blue sapphires. This antique ring is beautifully crafted and simply stunning. The ring features two circles of blue sapphires, each forming a halo around a central round blue sapphire. The sapphires are a lovely shade of medium blue, slightly darker than ceylon blue in color. 

The first halo features eight (8) oval blue sapphire cabochons, each secure in a hand-crafted bezel setting. The second halo features eight (8) round faceted blue sapphires, each set deeply inside a teardrop shaped bezel. Each shoulder of the ring is decorated with a round faceted sapphire set in an oval bezel. The central faceted blue sapphire is secure in a bezel setting framed in gold with a twisted rope design.   

I don't identify the cabochons as "star sapphires" although each one displays an "asterism" (glow), because you do not see a clear rayed star. These sapphires each have natural inclusions that are visible under magnification. The gemstones do not have any damage such as cracks or breaks.  Each gemstone is secure in a hand-crafted gold bezel-setting.  This ring is similar in style to the traditional harem ring, but its construction and design is more sturdy and well-crafted.  It also has a nice low profile, and sits closer to the finger than most harem rings. 

**The gold has a rosey hue, and might be considered rose gold rather than yellow gold.
