This specimen is a transparent 0.92 carat pear shape alexandrite, exhibiting the classic greenish to reddish color shift. The gem measures 7.97 by 5.43 by 3.28 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut that balances facet complexity and light performance. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, resulting in an essentially eye clean appearance under normal viewing conditions. Color intensity is vivid, and polish is excellent, enhancing both the saturation and the gem s overall brilliance. There has been no enhancement to this stone, and its origin is Brazil.
The pear shape and near one carat weight make this alexandrite particularly well suited for custom jewelry applications. The length to width ratio is approximately 1.47, a proportion that provides an elegant tapered silhouette without appearing overly elongated, and that works effectively in solitaire rings, pendants, and drop style earrings. The mixed brilliant cut contributes strong light return and scintillation, which is advantageous in open settings that allow light to reach the pavilion, while the moderate dimensions allow for secure mounting with standard prong configurations. Design considerations include the use of a protective V prong or partial bezel at the pointed end to guard against impact, and a north south orientation in ring settings to visually elongate the finger. The stone s vivid color change is best showcased in designs that expose the table and crown, while a halo or tapered shoulders can enhance perceived size and frame the color transition without obscuring the gem s visual effects.
As an untreated Brazilian alexandrite offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this piece is appropriate for commissions where natural, stable color and clarity are priorities. Its transparency, excellent polish, and eye level clarity provide a reliable foundation for bespoke settings where the gemstone will be the focal element. For technical mounting recommendations, complementary stone pairing, or detailed viewing images to aid in design decisions, The Natural Gemstone Company can provide additional guidance to ensure the finished piece meets both aesthetic and practical requirements.
