This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the "Star of Asia" sapphire, a true gem in the world of precious stones. Displayed at the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institute in the USA, this exquisite piece is a testament to Indian craftsmanship and artistry. With its impressive 330 carat weight and cabochon cut, this spherical sapphire boasts a unique natural star shape that adds to its allure. Its smooth round surface reflects light effortlessly, creating an enchanting play of colors that captivates any viewer. As we delve into the world of gemmology and gemstones, it's impossible not to be awestruck by this magnificent creation. The Star of Asia holds within it centuries worth of history and cultural significance from India - a country renowned for its rich heritage in gemology. The design choice to present this precious stone as a cabochon enhances its elegance even further.
