*GLC is the Chanthaburi Gemological Laboratory Co. Ltd. and are based in Thailand. They offer genuine authenticity certificates that are online verifiable. GLC only employ graduates of the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the Asian Institute of Gemological Science (AGIS) which are two of the most prestigious leading gemological laboratories world wide. Each gemstone is tested by two different gemologists independent of each other and both must come to the same conclusion seperately before they will agree to issue any authenticity certificate whatsoever for that particular gemstone. ๐Thanks so much for reading and browsing!๐ ๐๐๐ Star Sapphire Meaning: Star sapphire is a special type of sapphire that has the property of asterism. Star sapphires are relatively rare โ it occurs in approximately three percent of all raw sapphires. Gemology (the science of gemstones) describes asterism as an optical phenomenon or a light effect found in some crystals. When light reflects from the sapphire, a luminous, star-like pattern appears on its surface. Star sapphires exist in several colors (including pink, black, gray, brown, orange and yellow). Arguably, the blue ones have earned the greatest reputation among them all, largely due to the associated blue symbolism. The star sapphire brings mental clarity. The star sapphire has two main features which remind us of the sky โ a celestial blue color and a star-like formation when seen under light. Naturally, this gemstone is often linked to the sky, and has been called โthe gem of heavenโ. For example, there is an old Persian belief that the Earth sits on a huge pedestal made of sapphire. According to this vision of the universe, the blue color of the sky comes from the sun rays reflecting on the faces of this giant blue crystal. Due to its blue symbolism, the sapphire has been regarded as an emblem of nobility, royalty, monarchy and aristocracy. In the tenth century, blue color was rare and expensive in Europe. This made it available only to rulers and spiritual leaders. It is believed that the star sapphire brings peace, calmness and tranquility to its wearer. The stone also brings mental clarity, intelligence and understanding of oneโs own circumstances as well as the intentions of others. There is a common belief that star sapphires ward off the forces of the dark and strengthen oneโs faith. As a result, star sapphires have often been used as protective talismans. Sapphires were believed to provide an early warning of hidden dangers. To that aim, they were very often worn by travelers and spiritual seekers. People believed that the power of this rare sapphire was so strong, that it would not diminish even after passing the gem to another person. The three crossbars of the six-rayed star displayed on the surface of the sapphire symbolize the Christian convictions of faith, hope and destiny. For this reason, the star sapphire is often called โStone of Destinyโ and it is linked to the Angels of Faith, Hope and Destiny. Star sapphire is a stone which helps recognize oneโs life purpose. It is used in meditation, as a crystal-facilitator on the spiritual path. In this context, the star sapphire can guide the practitioner towards Angelic Realms and help him/her connect with Light Beings, Star Beings and Spirit Guides. As a result, one develops extra-sensory perception, and a gift of prophecy and channeling. โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ ABOUT THE GEMS I USE: ๐งช All of the top quality sapphires, rare, semi-precious, and precious gemstones that I use to make my jewellery come from an Internationally recognised Gemstone Auction who work with GLC, GIA, GRA, and AIGS gem testing laboratories to authenticate their gemstones. ๐ฌ Every single gemstone that I've ever had independently tested for myself has been exactly as described. ๐ They are the only company that I fully trust to purchase gemstones of high quality from because the authenticity of the gems that I use to make my jewellery is always my #1 priority. I'm extremely fussy as I only want the best earth-mined natural gemstones to use to create my one of a kind pieces. ๐ฐ Because I buy my gemstones through an auction format I'm often able to pick up incredible rare, unusual, precious and semiprecious stones at very affordable prices. This means that I'm able to make beautiful jewellery at a far more affordable price with genuine natural gems, so I'm then able to pass those savings on to my customers. โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ Sorry no returns for this item. BUYERS!!! Please read the information and look at the photos very carefully to ensure that you know what you are buying.

Please also understand that it is not in my best interest to be dishonest about an item's appearance, colour, or condition so I would gain absolutely nothing by lying about an item's appearance in any way. I strongly encourage buyers to ask me any questions before buying if there is anything that you are unsure of. โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ ๐ Please, please, please contact me before leaving neutral or negative feedback or opening an item dispute case!

I have only just begun to build my own "Gem-pire" to share the jewellery I love to create with the world! ๐๐๐ For me jewellery is all about the gemstone! I take great care and pride in creating simple, stylish & modern pieces that celebrate the stone itself. I'm the sort of person who wants to own a little piece of everything. I particularly love sourcing unusual and rare semiprecious and precious gems that can often be very expensive or uncommon, and then create jewellery so that everyone can own something truly special and unique! ๐๐๐ Don't be put off by my affordable prices, it is extremely important to me that I use only the best natural stones & solid sterling silver findings - I test all diamonds and acid test all silver to ensure that what I sell is genuine. If I am unsure of whether a stone is genuine or is synthetic/created I will say, so you can always buy with confidence. Everything I make is hypoallergenic too - I use genuine 92.5% sterling silver, surgical stainless steel, or a UV protective coating so that even people with metal allergies or sensitive skin like myself can wear them also. ๐I take great pride and care in choosing my crystals and gemstones to create one-of-a-kind pieces. Please let me know if you would like any gems or sizes in particular as I can do custom orders and I'd love any suggestions or feedback. โญ๏ธ Your happiness is my greatest reward! โญ๏ธ ๐๐๐ ๐ฎAll my items are sent using Australia Post service and I offer Standard, Registered postage (***highly recommended - tracking included) or Express postage options. I am only able to keep my prices so low by sending items using standard post without tracking included. Choosing Registered or Express post includes tracking and ensures that you have peace of mind. ๐ International bidders are most welcome also! There is an automatic cost added to postage costs for each additional item. ๐๐๐ โจ Some of the photos are only sample shots of a particular item as I sometimes have more than one in stock, so the photos are indications of what it looks like. Because I'm using natural gemstones there will always be differences in the gems, as each one is unique. If you would like to see a picture of the specific item that you're bidding on just send me a message. I try very hard to colour match stones used to make earrings but because I am using genuine natural stones there maybe some differences in shade in the gemstones used. ๐ Many of the natural gemstones that I sell will have inclusions in them which I personally really like to see. Even with today's technology inclusions are actually not able to be faked so I tend to regard them as being just as good as an authenticity certificate! ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ ๐ธ Please feel free to ask me any questions you would like to know, especially before the final sale or bid. The photos that I upload are also part of the items description. I take photos under different lighting conditions wherever possible to get the most accurate description of the items, but there may be some differences in colour or shade.
