A blend of old-world craftsmanship and modern restoration, this exquisite French antique setting marked with the iconic French eagle head hallmark was crafted in 18k white gold with platinum prongs. It has been revived and paired with a natural, unheated 2.68ct purple-pink opalescent sapphire. The stone glows with soft, shifting flashes of color, creating a truly mesmerizing effect.
Restoring the original prongs was a labor of love, and the ring is now strong, secure, and ready for years of wear. Professionally appraised at $6,500 (2025), it will arrive with its appraisal certificate.

Could not love my opalescent sapphire Little Star more. It is beyond gorgeous. Such a perfect piece!!!
A little bit of magic! Arrived in incredibly thoughtful packaging. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.
My star is so sparkly and the gold so substantial- I could not be happier with my purchase and I look forward to buying a Mother Star in the future
I love my little star. The waitlist worked easily and I found my perfect star. Patricia sent options perfectly based on my preferences. Shipping was fast and safe with signature required and my star came with the sweetest packaging. I wear it every day! Thank you!
These Little Stars really stand out. My sapphire is a gorgeous color. The piece is solid and hefty; beautifully crafted.
The absolute best. Love my littke adopted star 🤩🤩🤩
The little star is a beautiful piece of art. It is unique and makes me smile when I wear it. I like that it is thick and not a flat star and the weight of it is perfect to keep your chain from sliding around.
My star is the prettiest thing ever and brings me so much joy. After looking at them for a year or more I finally took the plunge and I’m so happy I did.
everything about this star is amazing! the packaging, the quality, the craftsmanship — and Patricia was so helpful in ensuring a smooth delivery. im in love with it!💗🌟
It’s absolutely exquisite!
I received my star and it came out perfect! Patricia was wonderful helping me through the customization process; showing me what stones were available based on my interests and explaining the differences between them and the finishes of gold. There was open and clear communication the entire ordering process including shipping. I’m in love with my star!
Perfect weight. Gorgeous finish. Love it so much!
I am beyond pleased with my Little Star! Not only was picking her out easy and fun, but communicating with Patricia was too! The quality is wonderful with every tiny detail being perfect. A one of one piece like this at this price point is truly unbeatable! I am so excited to have my star forever and ever! I cannot recommend this shopping experience enough!!!
I purchased the Emma M. Lion 18K Mother Star (Teal Heart Sapphire in matte finish) during the most recent drop. I am beyond thrilled with the beauty, craftsmanship, and obvious care put into this perfect star charm. I have come across many star pendants throughout the years, but this is top-tier amazing! I now fully understand why people have several in their collection! The packaging was also carefully crafted with thoughtful intention. It is truly worth holding out for one and not settling on cheaper, subpar dupes. I look forward to adding to my collection from future drops!
