0.66 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

A jewel such as this 0.66 carat pear shaped alexandrite announces itself the moment it catches the light, a rare and intimate demonstration of nature and mastery. GIA certified, sourced from Brazil, and completely natural with no enhancements, this gem presents a mesmerizing color change, shifting from a bluish green in fluorescent and daylight to a purplish pink under incandescent light, and even reading as a deeper purple in certain warm environments. The proportions at 7.51 by 4.87 by 2.61 millimeters and the mixed brilliant cut have been chosen to maximize both depth and scintillation, giving the stone a lively play of light and color. With a clarity grade described as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the internal character of the alexandrite is honest and natural, yet unobtrusive, allowing a vivid color intensity and an excellent polish to speak for itself. These technical virtues combine to create an object that is visually commanding and physically harmonious, every facet aligned to celebrate the extraordinary chromatic personality of alexandrite.

In a jewelry setting, this stone will transcend mere ornamentation and become the centerpiece that defines the piece. The pear shape is inherently elegant, elongating the finger as a solitaire ring or adding a graceful teardrop silhouette to a pendant. The mixed brilliant cut ensures crisp flashes of brilliance across a range of lighting conditions, so whether set in a low, refined bezel suited to an active life or in a delicate four or six prong mounting that allows maximum light to enter the pavilion, the color change will be dramatic and immediate. Consider pairing it with the warm glow of 18 karat yellow or rose gold to emphasize the purplish pink temperament under incandescent light, or choose platinum or white gold to accentuate the greenish blue tones by day. A halo of fine diamonds will sharpen the alexandrite’s saturation and create a luminous frame that intensifies the perceived color change, while a minimalist setting will allow connoisseurs to appreciate the stone’s depth and internal complexity. Photographs provided show the gem on the hand, offering a realistic sense of scale and presence, and proving that even at 0.66 carat this alexandrite commands attention and announces refined taste.

Owning this alexandrite is an assertion of cultivated discretion and discerning acquisition. Alexandrite is celebrated for its rarity and for the almost theatrical metamorphosis of color, qualities that make it a favored choice for those who seek pieces with both emotional resonance and enduring value. At The Natural Gemstone Company we select only stones of provenance and character, and this gem’s GIA certification, natural Brazilian origin, and lack of enhancement corroborate its authenticity and appeal. For the client who views jewelry as both personal signature and legacy, this alexandrite is an ideal candidate for a bespoke commission, whether as a signature engagement ring that surprises in candlelight, a pendant that alters mood as it moves, or a pair of drop earrings where the pear silhouette can dance with every turn. We welcome consultations on settings and design, and can recommend mounting techniques and metal choices that will ensure the color change remains the dramatic, defining attribute of the finished piece.

Choosing to wear this alexandrite is to choose a conversation piece that evolves with the moment, to possess a gem that will draw compliments and provoke questions, and to make a quiet but unmistakable statement about personal standards. The vivid color intensity and excellent polish ensure that light is translated into expression, while the mixed brilliant cut and thoughtful proportions allow jewelers to design settings that reveal more facets of the stone with every glance.
