Alexandrite Rings

Of all the gemstones, Alexandrite may be the most enigmatic. Loved for its rare color-changing ability, natural Alexandrite has been valued for centuries.

Discovered in Russia’s Ural Mountains in the 1830s, Alexandrite was named after the future Czar Alexander II. This regal history matched the stone’s majesty. Alexandrite displays a magical color change from bluish-green in daylight to purplish-red under incandescent light. Other gems can mimic this change, but only true Alexandrite does so dramatically. This chameleon-like ability, coupled with its durability and brilliance, puts natural Alexandrite in the elite ranks of precious gems.

Beyond its visual appeal, Alexandrite also holds meaning. Its dual coloring is said to mirror one’s inner and outer nature. To many, the stone represents integrity and self-awareness. For these reasons, Alexandrite has become a contemporary yet mystical choice for engagement rings.

• Classic Solitaire Alexandrite Rings: Featuring Alexandrite as the main stone with a simple band to highlight its unique color change.

• Diamond Halo Alexandrite Rings: Surrounded by a circle or multiple circles of diamonds to add sparkle.

Consider these key factors when purchasing Alexandrite rings:

• Color Change – The most prized Alexandrites show a vibrant bluish-green in daylight and a deep raspberry tone under incandescent light. Weak color change lowers value.
• Clarity – Eye-clean stones with few inclusions, good transparency, and high brilliance are best. Flaws can diminish color change.
