0.48 Ct. Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a singular stone to complete an engagement ring that stands apart or a collector piece that offers both beauty and rarity, this Ceylon alexandrite answers that need with quiet confidence. This transparent 0.48 carat oval alexandrite measures 5.37 x 4.00 x 2.96 mm, and it is expertly fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes sparkle while preserving the gem body color. Under fluorescent light it reads as a yellowish green, while under incandescent light it shifts to a brownish orange, showcasing true alexandrite color change with intense color intensity. The clarity is slightly included at eye level, which gives character without compromising visibility, and the polish is excellent, allowing light to dance through each facet. This stone has not been enhanced, an important consideration for buyers who want a natural, unaltered gem, and its modest carat weight and classic oval shape make it ideal for a refined solitaire setting or as the centerpiece of a custom engagement design.
