One of our most special pieces, inspired by historical depictions of astronomy, portraying an intricate sun and moon in a starry blue sky.
Designed to be passed down as an heirloom, this large star pendant features an exquisite micro-mosaic centre set into 18k solid gold and encircled with glistening brilliant cut diamonds and multi-coloured graduated sapphires, showcasing the attention to detail and true craftsmanship that goes into the making of this design.
Incorporating the age old traditional Italian techniques of micro mosaic art set with precious gemstones, these small masterpieces have been created by skilled artisans in Italy who have passed this extremely time consuming and complex craft down through family generations.
A note on diamond: April's birthstone, the diamond is said to represent love, strength and a long life. Referred to as the 'king of gems' due to its unique powers of light reflection and being one of the hardest natural substances known.
A note on sapphire: September's birthstone, traditionally marking the 45th wedding anniversary. Worn by royalty, considered a symbol of good fortune, virtue, holiness and wisdom. The ancient Persians believed the Earth rested on an enormous Sapphire and it was its reflection that coloured the sky.
Packaged in a pink silk and velvet tasseled box, this piece truly is something to be cherished.

Our collections are handmade by family-run workshops and artisans in Italy and Turkey. Each piece is unique.
We only make our jewels in small batches and encourage our customers to only purchase what sparks joy, as to avoid unnecessary returns. Nothing we make is mass produced.
Our collections are designed in-house at Soru HQ, based on a quiet leafy street in Solihull, UK. Where each order is also hand packaged and thoughtfully dispatched.
We use natural gemstones and baroque pearls within our gold plated silver collection which may contain internal inclusions, irregular edges, uneven surfaces and variations in the colours. No two gems are the same, adding to the beauty and uniqueness of each individual gem.
If you wish to exchange your item for a different shape or colour, please get in touch at customercare@sorujewellery.com. Any return postage costs would be subject to charge. Item availability for exchange will depend on the stock we have remaining.
