0.46 Ct. Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Like a secret twilight held between two breaths, this alexandrite sings of moments that shift and surprise. Its heart moves from a green that recalls rain on temple leaves, to a warm brown that feels like candlelight remembered. Transparent and finely faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, the stone flashes with lively scintillation and an excellent polish that sends little constellations across its surface. The play of color, the gentle glow of medium color intensity, and its graceful oval silhouette together weave a quiet romance that feels both intimate and rare.

Measured with the exactness of a jeweler and the tenderness of a poet, this gem weighs 0.46 carat and measures 5.34 x 4.22 x 2.83 mm, an ideal scale for custom work that seeks subtlety and presence. Its clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, offering eye clean appeal while preserving natural character. Origin Ceylon Sri Lanka, no enhancement, a piece of the earth left untouched by treatment. The oval shape is a maker s dream, elongating the finger in a solitaire ring, nestling perfectly within a delicate bezel, or anchoring a halo that amplifies its changing hues. The modest dimensions make this alexandrite exquisitely suited for bespoke settings where precision matters, where prongs can be sculpted to embrace each curve, where side stones can be chosen to complement its chameleon glow.
