0.89 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

One beautiful transparent 0.89 carat oval shape alexandrite presents itself as a study in rare natural spectacle, with a dramatic green to purplish red color change that captivates at first glance. This gem measures 6.42 x 4.90 x 3.58 mm, a size that is practical for a center stone in a refined ring, a pendant, or a bespoke pair of earrings, while still remaining a discreet and elegant statement for the collector who values subtlety and exceptional provenance. Cut into a mixed brilliant configuration, the facets have been engineered to maximize both brilliance and the distinctive alexandrite color shift, so that under daylight and fluorescent lighting the stone reads a vibrant, saturated green, and under incandescent lighting it warms to a rich, velvety purplish red. The stone is transparent, with a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which contributes to character without obscuring its brilliance, and the polish is excellent, creating a surface that reflects light with crispness and depth. Origin is Brazil, and no enhancement has been applied, so what you own is an unaltered, natural example of one of the world s most alluring gem species.

Beyond its immediate visual drama, this alexandrite is cut and finished to the standards that collectors and connoisseurs prize, with a mixed brilliant design that balances scintillation and color performance. The oval outline elongates the stone visually, offering a graceful head size that appears larger on the finger than its carat weight might suggest, and the proportions support an even color distribution that is essential to a memorable color change. Slight inclusions are common in natural alexandrite and in this piece they sit comfortably within the gem without distracting from the overall effect, often adding to the individuality that discerning buyers seek. Its excellent polish means that each facet edge presents clean reflections, enhancing the stone s fire and the drama of its transition between green and purplish red. For those commissioning a custom setting, this gem responds beautifully to warm metal choices that amplify the red side of the change, and to cool metals that emphasize the green, giving a bespoke jeweler multiple creative directions. The stone s dimensions and cut make it versatile for modern classic designs, and its transparency and intense color intensity ensure it will remain a focal point of any piece it inhabits.

From an investment perspective, fine natural alexandrite occupies a unique niche in the gemstone market, combining scientific rarity with cultural desirability, and this particular Brazilian specimen embodies attributes that contribute to long term appreciation potential. Alexandrite s color change is caused by a specific balance of trace elements, a geological circumstance that is uncommon, which means supply is inherently constrained. When that natural color change is paired with intense color intensity, transparent clarity, careful cutting, and no enhancement, demand from collectors, private investors, and high end jewelry houses tends to concentrate on a very small pool of available stones. Historical market trends have shown that top quality, untreated gemstones with demonstrable provenance have outperformed more common categories of stones over extended periods, as collectors prize rarity and documented natural origin. Brazilian alexandrite has earned increasing recognition among connoisseurs for offering a distinct aesthetic and an attractive supply story, and because new high quality finds are infrequent, each fine specimen that enters the market can command a premium over time. While no investment can be guaranteed, the combination of scarce supply, intensifying global demand for natural and untreated gems, and the unique visual appeal of a strong color change position this alexandrite as an attractive candidate for collectors seeking potential appreciation, especially when held as part of a carefully curated portfolio of rare gemstones.
