Item condition
By buying preloved or reclaimed, you are shopping more sustainably. While we examine our pieces thoroughly and ensure that they are in good wearable condition, reclaimed stones and preloved jewelry may show signs of wear commensurate with age.
It is natural for solid gold pieces to gain scratches and patina with time. Higher karat gold tends to scratch easier due to the softer metal.

Let customers speak for us
from 62 reviewsI really love my star charm. It’s dainty without being too small, and is a very solid and hefty piece. I appreciate the size of the gem in my star, and it’s the perfect stacking piece for my necklaces. Shipping was fast, and well packaged. I loved that she used eco friendly packaging, using soap as padding rather than less biodegradable packing materials. Overall it was a great experience purchasing a charm! This is for sure a forever piece for me. :) 100000/10 would recommend!
The Mother Star is such an amazing addition to my Tris & Rue collection! It's weighty and comforting to wear and the OMC diamond is the perfect centerpiece. I've worn it every day since it arrived and love it even more!
This is the most beautiful piece of jewelry I think I’ve ever seen. I literally GASPED when I opened up the packaging. The emerald is mesmerizing…literally. It’s bright and beautiful and fathomless. The bail size is large and perfect for most necklaces, even thick ones. I can’t explain just how much I love this little star. Never taking it off. Thank you so much.
Love the shape of the mother star - it’s chunky like I wanted in a star and the OMC is lovely
i am so grateful to have randomly stumbled across Tris & Rue. i have been searching for something so special & intimate and my little star is everything to me. this piece feels incredibly special. the little star is soft, comforting, and so thoughtfully designed from the matte gold to the blush pink sapphire. its the kind of jewelry you wear close to your heart and never want to take off. i am so happy that Tris & Rue decided to share their craft and love with us because it has really given me so much joy.
It’s perfect and gets daily compliments. I bought my Little Star garnet in remembrance of my dad who said he’d send me shooting stars after he passed. I’m also not even joking when I say that I saw an actual shooting star and dreamed about my Dad a couple days after receiving it. Thank you so much.
I'd been eyeing a Little Star for a while and finally I took my chance; although I was highly indecisive about where it was to be delivered, my numerous messages were handled with extreme patience. And I'm so happy with the star I chose - with an additional matte finish. Thank you!
I absolutely love my stars and haven’t taken them off since they arrived. I’m obsessed with the matte finish and perfect little gemstones. I will definitely be a repeat customer and want the mother star next!
I have long wanted one of Tris & Rue’s Little Stars and had it on my wishlist for 2026. I was originally planning to wait for a later drop after experiencing wallet fatigue during the holidays, but then I saw her. She was letter K, “Six of Crows”—a matte finish star with a 0.40 carat hexagon opalescent pink-purple-peach sapphire. It felt like Patricia had crawled into my brain or read my diary—this star was my dream and ticked all the boxes. I debated buying it for a couple hours, and then when I was finally ready to purchase, she was still there waiting for me. It felt like fate. She was beautiful in pictures on the Tris & Rue website, but truly breathtaking in person! The color shifting sapphire is GORGEOUS and the high quality of the stone’s cut is obvious. The star itself feels luxe and has the perfect heft in hand. The gold is a lovely rich hue. The pendant also features a generously sized bail so that I can wear it with different chains! Overall, I am so glad I purchased this star. I find myself fiddling with it during the day and even taking it off just to admire it and watch the color-shifting stone in action.
I recently purchased a custom 10k yellow gold Mother Star pendant, and I honestly do not have the words to fully capture how breathtaking it is. It is a perfectly solid gold star with the most stunning OEC diamond set right in the center. The diamond alone feels magical. The sparkle, the depth, the character. It is truly the most beautiful stone I have ever seen.
I already own the original Little Star, and I knew I needed this version too. There is something so celestial and special about these pieces, and the Mother Star feels like the heart of that magic. When I opened the package, I genuinely did not even want to touch it at first because it looked so perfect and breathtaking. Instead I just sat there looking at it, completely in awe for a few minutes before I HAD to get it on.
Working with Patricia is always such a gift. Everything she creates feels intentional, thoughtful, and full of care. She works incredibly hard and it shows in every detail. She sent me so many photos and videos of the diamond throughout the process and somehow knew exactly what I was envisioning before I could even fully explain it. That kind of understanding and dedication is rare.
This is a piece I cannot wait to wear every single day. It already feels like a future heirloom piece, something I will cherish forever and one day pass on to someone special who can love and appreciate it for a lifetime, just like I did.
Thank you so much, Patricia, for creating yet another piece of pure magic 🤍✨
My star charm is perfect!! I love it so much!!! The sparkle is amazing. The charm has a good weight and feels substantial. The way it came with the artisanal soaps and presentation was meticulous and beautiful. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it!! I just want you to know your post on IG touched me about finding a special star and letting it be a reminder of someone dear to me. That someone special is my mom. She’s gone now but she is with me everyday and now I have a star as a beautiful reminder. Ty again🥰
Where do I even begin?! I've now purchased two stars, a little star with a diamond and a mother star with a ruby and they are so stunning. The craftsmanship is excellent. They have a beautiful weight to them and I just adore both. Highly recommend this shop for beautiful, wonderfully crafted jewelry!
The star is stunning. Precisely made with the finest materials. The custom order process was so easy and Tris was a pleasure to work with to make my own little piece of the heavens !
I am enchanted with this beautiful pendant. This Little Star is so beautifully designed and made. It’s weighty and smooth and is a true pleasure to wear. It immediately felt like a part of me. I don’t want to take it off!
My star has arrived safely and it’s absolutely incredible- thank you for making this magical special star for me. This star is so well crafted and weighty, it is an excellent addition to my collection. I highly recommended Tris and Rue’s stars, they are absolutely a treat and magnificent to stare at all day.
