STARFIRE Teal Montana Sapphire Ring | 14k Gold | Made to Order | Deposit + Setting Fee

As seen in Refinery29. The Romans believed a vein ran from the ring finger directly to the heart — the vena amoris. Tesia Alexandra named her studio around that idea, and every stone she chooses carries a story worth wearing for a lifetime. The STARFIRE is one of those stories.

The Stone
Teal Montana sapphires are among the rarest American gemstones in existence. Mined in the Yogo Gulch and Rock Creek regions of Montana — and nowhere else in the world at this quality — they carry a color that shifts between deep ocean teal and electric blue-green depending on the light. American Mined™ certified, never heat-treated, never enhanced. What you see is exactly what the earth made. Most jewelers never hold one. This stone was chosen because it cannot be replicated.

The Metal
14k gold — available in grey, rose, champagne, or yellow — rare alloys most jewelers never work with, finished entirely by hand. Recycled and conflict-free. Hand-finished in a Brooklyn studio.

The Setting
The Stello setting features four kite-shaped prongs that hold the stone at its four compass points — elevated, exposed to light from every angle, architectural without being cold. The name comes from the Latin for star. The stone earns it.
