All I can say is WOW what a stone! It is such a treat to get fine unheated Ceylonese Star Sapphire like this.
It is easy and common to find diffusion treated stones and for those that have budgetary restrictions it makes sense to buy those but THIS is the good stuff.
Star Sapphire from Ceylon/Sri Lanka has been harder and harder to find and again, this is a real treat of a stone. You may already know that stones like this can sell at auction for very large premiums, well this is your chance to get your hands on a beautiful star sapphire at a very good price.

SHIPPING & RETURNS
Return Policy
*Please note that our return policy varies depending on the item(s) you are considering for purchase.
The following two item types are explained below. Please see the additional notes marked by asterisks (*, **) at the bottom of the descriptions.
- Loose gemstones and finished “ready-to-ship” jewellery
- Bespoke, custom-designed jewellery that is made to order
1. Loose gemstones and finished “ready-to-ship” jewellery
We offer a 30-day return window for you to review your gem or finished “ready-to-ship” jewellery item.
The 30-day period begins when you sign for and receive your item from the shipping carrier. If you are not completely satisfied with your item, you can contact us and arrange to return it for a full refund. Items must be returned in the same condition as they were sent. Please note that while you have possession of any item, you are fully responsible for its value and care.*
If you need an extended inspection period, special circumstances can be agreed upon; please email us any requests for extensions so that everyone has the request in writing and there is a proper paper trail.
2. Bespoke, custom-designed jewellery that is made to order
We offer a 30-day return window to review your one-of-a-kind custom piece of jewellery. If you are not completely satisfied with your item, we are happy to discuss taking it back and providing you with a refund.**
Items must be returned in the same condition as they were sent. Please note that while you have possession of any item, you are fully responsible for its value and care.*
* Chipped/scratched/damaged/worn items will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. For example, if you scratch a gem while it is in your possession, we can usually still take it back for a refund, but you will be responsible for any charges or fees to repolish the gem. On the other hand, if you shatter a gem while setting it, or if your jeweller decides that cleaning emeralds in an ultrasonic is a good idea and the stone cracks, we will obviously NOT take it back.
** There are situations where we will reserve the right to change our return policy for unusual custom orders. These include but are not limited to:
- Platinum jewellery is subject to a 25% restocking fee on the jewellery itself (any gems used in the jewellery will be refunded in full provided that they are in “like new” condition).
- Silver jewellery is subject to a 50% restocking fee on the jewellery itself (any gems used in the jewellery will be refunded in full provided that they are in “like new” condition).
- Initial Rings/Name Plate Pendants etc. may not be returned.
- Engraving/Inscriptions will have a restocking fee charged of $10 per character. IE: DS ♥ AS would have a $50 restocking fee added, one for each character/symbol, this is so we can remove the inscription and resell the item on our website.
