Star Ruby Pendants in Sterling Silver  

Natural Asterism Rubies Set in .925 Silver Pendants

Star rubies form when titanium dioxide creates microscopic silk threads inside corundum during crystallization. These parallel needles intersect at 60-degree angles, producing the characteristic six-pointed star visible under a single light source. The effect appears strongest in cabochon cuts, where the domed surface focuses light across the inclusions. Ruby measures 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it second only to diamond in durability for everyday wear. Our star ruby pendants range from deep pigeon-blood reds to lighter pinkish tones, depending on chromium content and geographic origin. Burmese stones tend toward saturated red with strong fluorescence, while Sri Lankan material often shows a brighter, more purple-red hue. Each pendant mounting uses solid .925 sterling silver, not plating or overlay. Browse the full collection to find star rubies in various carat weights and setting styles.
