Bezel Alexandrite Necklace 0.71 Ct., 10K Yellow Gold

This exceptional necklace from The Natural Gemstone Company centers a rare, transparent Russian alexandrite, weighing 0.71 carat, cushion shape, with dimensions of 4.87 x 4.69 x 3.96 mm, and a mixed brilliant cut. The gem exhibits intense color saturation and excellent polish, and has a clarity grade of included when evaluated at eye level. The setting is deliberately designed to celebrate the stone, a low and sculpted bezel that cradles the gem while keeping the crown and pavilion facets free to interact with light. Every facet is oriented to catch and return colour and brilliance, so the alexandrite shifts between green and purple with movement and changing light, revealing the stone in a way that only a carefully considered setting can accomplish. The polished metal surround frames the gem like a gallery window, focusing attention on the centre of the composition, while the gently rounded bezel edges maintain an elegant silhouette that reads as refined and timeless.

The result is a necklace that feels like a private discovery, a piece reserved for those who appreciate the subtle dialogue between expert gemstone cutting and thoughtful mounting. The mixed brilliant cut of the cushion alexandrite produces a lively play of light, and the excellent polish amplifies each flash, while the included clarity gives the gem a unique character that speaks to its natural Russian origin. At The Natural Gemstone Company we set each stone with an artisan eye, calibrating the bezel proportions so that light enters the gem and is returned with maximum depth and colour change, rather than being lost to an overly constrained mount. This is not a mass produced pendant, it is an intimate presentation of a rare alexandrite, finished with meticulous attention to proportion and polish. Availability is extremely limited, and owning this necklace places you among a select group who can wear a genuinely singular gemstone, a living jewel that responds to light and to life. For collectors who seek stones with provenance and presence, this necklace is a quietly bold declaration of rarity and refined taste.
