5.29 Ct. Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Discover an exceptionally rare cushion shape alexandrite, 5.29 carats, measuring 9.94 x 9.85 x 5.49 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize its lively fire and color change. This transparent gem displays a striking alexandrite effect, shifting from a vivid yellowish green in daylight to a warm brownish orange under incandescent light, a transformation prized by connoisseurs. The clarity is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which gives the stone depth and character without compromising brilliance. With intense color saturation and an excellent polish, this stone delivers dramatic presence whether set as a statement ring or a bespoke pendant. Importantly, this alexandrite has received no enhancement, its natural beauty preserved from mine to master cutter, making it a genuinely rare and collectible specimen. The mixed brilliant cut was executed to balance lively scintillation with broad color facets, the excellent polish enhances every flash, and the generous cushion proportions present a larger face up appearance than may be expected for its carat weight.

Origin matters with gems of this caliber, and this alexandrite comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a legendary source that elevates its desirability and investment potential. Sri Lankan alexandrites are celebrated for their pure chromium based color change and exceptional clarity, and provenance from Ceylon conveys a history of centuries old craftsmanship and ethical sourcing traditions. Owning this gem means joining a select circle of collectors who value natural origin, traceable heritage, and singular beauty.
