0.35 Ct. Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a jewel that surprises you each time you look at it, a tiny wonder that turns a daily moment into a memory to treasure, a living talisman of joy and devotion. This exquisite transparent alexandrite from Ceylon Sri Lanka captures that rare ability to transform, to astonish, and to deepen affection with a single glance. Selectively cut to 0.35 carat, with precise dimensions of 3.89 x 3.85 x 2.57 mm, this round shape gem is a study in elegant proportions. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed with care, and the excellent polish allows every facet to sing. At eye level this stone reads very slightly included, and those small natural features only serve to confirm its authenticity and character. With an intense color intensity, the stone shifts from a yellowish green in daylight to a warm brownish orange under incandescent lighting, a color change so personal that it feels like a secret shared between the wearer and the world. No enhancement has been applied to alter its natural beauty, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the veracity of this gem with pride and transparency.

Hold this alexandrite in your hand and picture how it will live in a setting, how it will catch morning light and then glow like a small ember at dusk. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes fire and scintillation, while maintaining a depth that highlights the color change phenomenon that makes alexandrite so coveted. In cool daylight, the yellowish green tones are fresh and verdant, like the first breath of spring. Under incandescent light the stone turns to a rich brownish orange, reminiscent of warm sunsets and intimate candlelit dinners. This dramatic transition makes the gem an excellent choice for someone who values surprise and subtlety, someone who loves a jewel that tells a story with each shift of light. At 0.35 carat, the gem is perfectly suited for a refined solitaire, a delicate halo, or a layered stack that lets it speak intimately without overwhelming. Its clear transparency and intense color intensity will allow jewelers to set it simply or lavishly, and the stone will reward thoughtful design with effortless charisma.

For the conscious collector, this alexandrite represents more than aesthetic pleasure, it represents ethical intention made tangible. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, the gem is part of a supply chain that values responsible practices, fair treatment of workers, and respect for local communities. The Natural Gemstone Company seeks relationships with miners and cutters who practice sustainable methods, and who contribute to the wellbeing of the places and people connected to each stone. The fact that no enhancement has been applied further honors the gem and the earth that produced it, preserving its natural origin and character. Choosing this stone is a deliberate act, a choice to support traceability, to reward craftsmanship, and to carry forward a legacy of ethical stewardship. When you wear this alexandrite you carry a story of care, you celebrate the hands that helped bring it to light, and you participate in a cycle of conscious consumption that values both beauty and integrity.

This alexandrite will find a natural place in a thoughtful collection, as an heirloom ready to be woven into new stories. Consider it as an engagement stone for a person who values uniqueness, for a milestone gift that marks transformation, or as a quiet daily companion that makes ordinary moments feel ceremonial. Pair it with warm yellow gold to emphasize its orange glow at night, or with polished white metals to showcase its green hues in daylight. For daily wear, a protective setting that shields the girdle and perhaps a low profile will maintain its polish and keep the stone luminous over time. Gentle cleaning with warm water and a soft brush will preserve its surface, and safe storage away from harder stones will prevent scratches. When you choose this gem from The Natural Gemstone Company you are choosing more than an object, you are choosing a source that honors provenance, quality, and human dignity.
