0.54 Ct. Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a quiet magic in this oval alexandrite, a tiny world of shifting light and secret depths that feels like moonlight folded into earth. This transparent 0.54 carat gem was born in Ceylon Sri Lanka, cut into an elegant oval with a mixed brilliant facet pattern that teases fire from every angle, measuring 4.87 by 4.19 by 3.03 millimeters, with an intense color presence and an excellent polish that finishes each flash with silk. At eye level the clarity reads very very slightly included, which only deepens the gem story rather than hiding it. No enhancements have altered its truth, so the green to brown transition remains a genuine whisper of nature, a color change that moves from verdant forest to warm chestnut under different lights. When held to the light the stone sings, green like new leaves in daylight, brown like a late summer dusk by incandescent glow, a living jewel that shifts moods as effortlessly as breath.

Imagine this alexandrite set where skin meets metal, its tones composing a private poem against your hand. On fair skin the green notes will read fresh and luminous, a dewy promise that plays off porcelain with a delicate contrast, while the brown undertones warm the gaze and bring a vintage romance to the piece. On medium skin the green will glow with a lively clarity, and the subtle brown side will add richness so the gem feels both spirited and mature. Olive complexions will find the green harmonizing like soft foliage, while the brown phase will echo warm undertones for a look that feels rooted and elegant. On deep skin the intense color intensity becomes bold and regal, the green luminous like emerald light, the brown embracing like chocolate warmth, and the overall effect is one of timeless drama. Paired with yellow gold the brown phase feels sumptuous and antique, paired with rose gold it becomes tender and romantic, paired with white gold or platinum the green purifies and modernizes the hue. As stewards of rare beauty The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to imagine this Ceylon alexandrite as a ring for a promise, a pendant for a memory, or a secret talisman that changes with your pulse and with the light.
