3.19 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Cabochon Alexandrite Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This matched pair comprises two translucent alexandrites, weighing 1.52 carats and 1.67 carats respectively, sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka and offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. Both stones are marquise in outline and fashioned as cabochons, with dimensions of 8.16 by 5.75 by 3.39 mm for the 1.52 carat gem, and 7.95 by 5.61 by 3.89 mm for the 1.67 carat gem. The cabochon form and excellent polish produce a strong, even surface luster and a smooth dome that accentuates the stones translucency and color response. Color is described as green to purplish red, showing a distinct color change between daylight and incandescent lighting, and the pair exhibits vivid color intensity. Clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, reflecting minor internal characteristics that do not materially affect the overall visual appeal. The stones have been heat treated as an enhancement, a standard and stable treatment applied to improve clarity and color uniformity while respecting natural origin.

As a matched pair these alexandrites integrate into luxury jewelry collections where symmetry and color interplay are central considerations. Their near matched weights and complementary dimensions make them particularly suited for earrings, whether set as classic studs, elegant drop configurations, or contemporary doublet settings that emphasize the marquise silhouette. The cabochon cut lends itself to tactile, refined designs, and the pronounced color change offers dynamic contrast when paired with white metals for daytime presentation and warm colored metals for evening wear. In bespoke work the pair can also serve as matching accents in a pair of rings or as focal points in a reversible pendant and brooch system, allowing designers to explore directional settings that highlight the marquise axis. In curated collections these gems provide a measured combination of rarity, provenance, and stable enhancement history, fitting seamlessly alongside faceted colored gemstones and high quality diamonds as complementary elements that introduce color change and organic surface glow without overpowering adjacent stones.
