The Aster
The Aster
Aptly named for the stars and the flower, this statement design is stylistically inspired by both. The eight sets of custom cut tapered baguettes are punctuated by eight larger rounds between them. This creates more a delicate and less geometric starburst than it’s counterpart, the Hexagon design, and places emphasis on a large, two carat size center stone. Pictured first is an 8mm (2 carat size) Forever One Moissanite with surrounding diamonds in rose gold with vintage detailing on the shank/band. Currently, this design is only possible with an 8mm center stone or larger to accommodate the number of tapered baguettes in the outer halo.

Quick Tips
How do I go about ordering this ring?
Visit my FAQ page first to better understand the ordering process, then contact me with any additional questions.
What materials are used for the white sapphire version of this ring?
The center is a natural white sapphire, the halo is always diamonds (white sapphires break/crack at that scale), and the outside stones are white sapphires: natural white sapphires for the rounds and Chatham white sapphires for the custom cut baguettes (cleaner stones from the same DNA, less imperfections that would be easily visible in a natural sapphire baguette cut)
I already have an heirloom stone, can I use it in this setting?
Yes! I love when clients incorporate their own stones into my settings. I can build a semi mount for you to precisely fit your center stone size and color. You can choose to send the stone to me to have it set at no extra cost, or I can send you the semi mount to have your stone set locally. For this design, the cetner stone must be a minimum or 7.5-8mm
Can I buy this ring with other stones?
Yes! Please contact me for a quote for different stones, including blue sapphires, rubies, etc.
Love the ring as is, but prefer a different size/type center stone or metal? More questions?
Pricing is for fully insured, trackable overnight domestic shipping. International shipping is available - please inquire for a quote ($250). Please contact me with any questions; I am available throughout the process of purchasing your dream ring!
