Trapiche grey sapphire ring set in 18ct yellow gol Trapiche grey sapphire ring set in 18ct yellow gold, finished and ready for setting. The star that you see in a Trapiche is part of the stones actual  internal structure whereas the star in a star sapphire or ruby is due to light interacting with needle like inclusions in the stone.  Trapiche sapphires that have a star as even as this are quite rare and I think very beautiful 🤩.
