Antique Edwardian Purple Star Sapphire and Diamond Filigree Ring

A luminous example of Edwardian refinement, this antique ring centers on a pale lavender star sapphire displaying a sharp six-rayed asterism across its domed cabochon surface. The ethereal glow of the sapphire is perfectly framed by a platinum filigree mount, its delicate openwork and fine milgrain detailing characteristic of early 20th-century craftsmanship. Set with sparkling old-cut diamonds along the split shoulders, the ring balances strength and delicacy—the platinum providing durability while the airy filigree evokes lace-like elegance. The star sapphire itself, long regarded as a talisman of guidance and protection, adds both mystical allure and historical significance.
