Star Ruby Rings for Women  

Star Ruby: What Creates the Asterism Effect

Star rubies form when titanium dioxide crystallizes as fine silk within the corundum during growth. These intersecting needles create three bands of reflected light that cross at 60-degree angles, producing the characteristic six-pointed star. The effect appears strongest under a single direct light source, and the star moves as you tilt the stone. Our star ruby rings come set in .925 sterling silver, a composition that contains 92.5% pure silver alloyed with copper for durability. The white metal creates clear contrast against the deep red to purplish-red bodycolor typical of star rubies. Most star rubies on the market originate from Myanmar, Sri Lanka, or Madagascar, where the geological conditions favor rutile inclusion formation. SilverRush Style has specialized in natural gemstone jewelry since 2005. Browse the collection above to find a star ruby ring that fits your style and budget.
