A statement size
Over four carats and more than 10 mm long, this cabochon makes a bold centre for a cocktail ring or a large pendant. It is a piece people notice from across a table.
Living with a cabochon
The smooth dome has no sharp facet edges, so it will not snag on clothes. A protective bezel is still wise for a ring worn every day.

About Star Ruby
Star ruby is red corundum cut as a domed cabochon to show a six-rayed star. The star, called asterism, comes from fine rutile needles inside the stone reflecting light.
- Mineral: Corundum
- Hardness: 9 on the Mohs scale
- Main sources: Myanmar (Burma), Sri Lanka, Vietnam, India
- Treatments: Star rubies may be heated, and some on the market are glass-filled or have diffused stars; ask us for the lab report on any stone to see its treatment.
- Care: Wash with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and store it separately so the dome does not get scuffed.
