2.04 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Alexandrite Pair from Brazil

This pair comprises two transparent alexandrites weighing 0.98 carats and 1.06 carats respectively, both cut in an oval mixed brilliant style, with dimensions of 7.12 by 5.01 by 3.12 mm and 7.04 by 5.18 by 3.46 mm. Each stone displays a pronounced color change from green under fluorescent lighting to purple under incandescent lighting, with vivid color intensity and an excellent polish. Clarity is graded slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and no treatments or enhancements have been applied. The material originates from Brazil, and the combination of color change behavior, good clarity, and precise cutting produces strong visual appeal and consistent optical performance across typical viewing conditions.

Finding two alexandrites that match closely in weight, dimensions, cut, color behavior, clarity, polish, and untreated origin is uncommon in the trade, and finding specimens that pair this well is particularly rare. Natural alexandrite forms with variable chromium distribution and internal zoning, which causes differences in hue, saturation, and color change strength from one crystal to another. Cutters optimize faceting to enhance the color change and overall face up appearance, and that process alters proportions and weight retention, making exact matches by shape and depth difficult. Inclusions and clarity characteristics occur in unique patterns, so obtaining two stones that read similarly at eye level requires selective sorting and often many more rough stones than the finished pair would suggest. For matched earring sets and symmetrical designs, close matching is essential to achieve balanced appearance and consistent light response. The Natural Gemstone Company sources and evaluates paired stones to minimize these natural variances, offering a factual account of each gem s measurements and characteristics to allow informed decisions by jewelers and collectors who require paired performance and untreated provenance.
