0.82 Ct. Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Alexandrite has long been celebrated for its almost magical ability to change color, a trait that has inspired legends and captivated collectors for nearly two centuries. This particular gem channels that storied past while embodying a timeless elegance that suits both classic and contemporary tastes. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, its provenance ties it to one of the world s most respected gem producing regions, a place where tradition and artisanal skill have shaped the legacy of fine stones for generations. Worn as a sign of refinement and continuity, this alexandrite recalls the grandeur of historic jewels while remaining firmly relevant to modern collectors who prize authenticity and enduring beauty.

The stone itself is a transparent, emerald cut alexandrite weighing 0.82 carat, with precise dimensions of 8.20 x 4.08 x 2.22 mm, making it an ideal centerpiece for a refined ring or a statement pendant. The emerald cut accentuates linear symmetry and offers a broad, open table that showcases the gem s intense color intensity and excellent polish. Clean to the eye at typical viewing distances, its clarity was evaluated at eye level, allowing light to travel freely through the pavilion and return a captivating interplay of green in cooler light, and a warm brown under incandescent illumination. There has been no enhancement, preserving the stone s natural character and intrinsic value. The exceptional cut work enhances brilliance and color change, turning every shift in lighting into a private performance of fire and depth.
