Pave Alexandrite Ring 0.55 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring centers on a 0.55 carat natural alexandrite, presented in a cushion shape with a mixed brilliant cut, secured by four prongs within a refined 14K yellow gold setting from The Natural Gemstone Company. The alexandrite displays a notable color shift from bluish green to pinkish purple, showing vivid saturation and an excellent polish that emphasizes its color play and facet performance. The stone measures 5.42 by 4.39 by 2.81 millimeters, and it is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that affirms its natural origin while maintaining visual clarity and sparkle. Complementing the center stone, the band is set with white round natural diamonds totaling approximately 0.30 carats, each selected for a VS clarity and a color range of F and G, arranged to enhance light return and to provide a balanced contrast against the warm tone of the yellow gold.

The mixed brilliant cut of the alexandrite combines faceting styles to optimize both brilliance and color dispersion, resulting in a gem that appears lively from a range of viewing angles. The cushion outline provides a timeless silhouette while the dimensions create a presence that is suitable for both everyday wear and formal occasions. The accent diamonds are calibrated and bead set into the shoulders of the band to create a continuous line of scintillation, while the gallery is engineered to allow light to enter the pavilion of the alexandrite, improving saturation and depth. No enhancement has been performed on the alexandrite, which preserves its original optical and physical properties. The overall construction prioritizes proportion and durability, with a secure setting profile and polished shank that ensures comfort and longevity.

The alexandrite originates from Brazil, sourced through channels that prioritize ethical mining practices and traceability, practices that are central to how The Natural Gemstone Company procures its stones. Suppliers are selected based on demonstrated adherence to responsible extraction protocols that include environmental management of land and water, fair labor standards for mine workers, and community engagement initiatives that support local development. Where possible, we work with partners who participate in recognized responsible sourcing programs and who provide documentation for chain of custody, allowing us to offer greater transparency regarding the journey of each gemstone from mine to finished piece. These measures do not compromise the natural character of the stone, and the absence of enhancement further confirms the authenticity of the alexandrite.

For the purchaser seeking detailed gem information, we provide full specifications on stone weight, dimensions, cut, clarity assessment, color description, and metal composition, and we can supply additional provenance documentation upon request. The combination of a naturally color changing alexandrite, well matched VS clarity white diamonds, and a 14K yellow gold mounting creates a ring that is both technically accomplished and intentionally sourced. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind this piece with a commitment to responsible sourcing, careful craftsmanship, and clear communication, ensuring that the ring meets high standards of quality and ethical consideration for the discerning buyer.
