What Is a Lindy Star Sapphire?
A Lindy star sapphire is a cheap, synthetic star sapphire used heavily in the 1940s and 1950s as a less expensive alternative to star sapphires. Lindy star sapphires are popular today, even though it is not produced by its original company. Considered a collector’s item today, original Lindy star sapphires are identifiable by its sharp, white starfish center and the clarity of its sapphire blue color. Today, Lindy star sapphires are collected or used in rings, necklaces or earrings.
