0.66 Ct. Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are stones that whisper and stones that sing, and this pear shaped alexandrite from Ceylon sings like twilight, shifting its melody with each turn of light. Picture a drop of evening sky, carved into a graceful pear, weighing 0.66 carats, measuring 7.51 x 4.87 x 2.61 mm, transparent and alive. By daylight it breathes a bluish green, cool and secret, then under incandescent warmth it deepens into a pinkish purple, warm and intimate. This is the color change that has captured the hearts of connoisseurs for generations, and in this particular gem the effect is vivid, a dramatic and honest transformation that feels like wearing a private sunset. The mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to coax every glint and hue from its depths, and an excellent polish lets each facet catch and return light like distant stars.

Beyond beauty, there is the quiet assurance of quality that makers and lovers of fine gems appreciate. This alexandrite is unenhanced and natural, its provenance Ceylon Sri Lanka, a place known for producing stones with character and soul. At eye level the clarity is graded very slightly included, which means that the gem reads clean to the most engaged observer while retaining the subtle inclusions that prove its natural origin. The proportions are elegant, the pear shape lending itself to both classic and contemporary settings, inviting a jeweler to cradle it in a halo of tiny diamonds or let it stand alone on a slender gold or platinum band. The mixed brilliant cut balances scintillation and color, so that every movement becomes a conversation between light and hue, craftsmanship and nature.

Owning this alexandrite is an investment in beauty and craftsmanship, in a story that will deepen with time.
