Seeing the star
The star is easiest to see under one strong light, like sunlight or a phone torch. Tilt the stone slowly and watch the rays move across the dome. A dark background in photos also helps it stand out.
Ring or pendant
A 9 mm round cabochon is a strong size for a signet-style men's ring or a ladies' pendant. A bezel or six-prong mount keeps the dome clear.

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.
