Vintage Star Ruby Ring paste gemstone Marks: EnglishSweet vintage ring set with an excellent star ruby. I'm chalking this up as a Second Craft Revival piece: the shoulders are beautifully worked as flowers, with delicate engraving and openworked detailing. The stone displays a purplish red colour with sharp, six pointed asterism when it falls under a point light source, a bright star that shifts and glides across the surface. Crafted in sterling silver and dating from the 1980s. Era: Vintage, 1987 Ring
