Pave Alexandrite Ring 1.13 Ct., 18K White Gold

There is a moment when light moves across a stone and the world seems to hold its breath, and this cushion shaped alexandrite carries that hush within its depths. Weighing 1.13 carat, measuring 6.23 by 5.53 by 4.07 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that catches fire with every tilt, this gem presents a spell of color that reads like a poem. By day it whispers bluish green, a cool sea at dawn, and by evening it blooms into a reddish purple as if dusk itself has slipped into the heart of the crystal, an intimate performance known as the rare and captivating alexandrite effect. Originating from Russia, this gem speaks of old world mines and deep, elemental patience, with intense color saturation and an excellent polish that make each facet sing. Its clarity grade is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a gentle fingerprint of the earth that confirms the stone is unsimulated and honest, no enhancement, just pure, natural brilliance. The natural changes in tone require little more than a whisper of metal to make the gem sing, because here the jewel asks only to be seen, not altered, its story already complete.

Flanked by white cushion shaped natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.80 carats, clarity grades VS1 and VS2, color grade E, and punctuated by white round shaped natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.30 carats, clarity VS, color grade F and G, the ring frames its central alexandrite like a theater of light. Each secondary diamond is chosen to reflect and magnify the alexandrite without stealing its scene, a careful choreography that celebrates the main actor. The pavé of round details along the shank and the elegant balance of cushion side stones make the design both classic and poetic, every angle composed to allow the color change to breathe. The entire composition rests in 18K white gold, a cool embrace that complements the bluish green moments and cradles the reddish purple with understated grace. Because no enhancement has been applied to the alexandrite, the diamonds and the white gold work as reverent partners, accentuating a jewel that needs so little to become immeasurably more, minimal intervention, maximal feeling.

To hold this ring is to hold a small weather of light, a private sky that will shift with every hour and every look, and The Natural Gemstone Company is honored to present such a treasure. We have paired the natural Russian alexandrite with white diamonds selected for their clarity and color so that the ensemble reads as a single verse, a promise of fidelity between stone and hand. There is something quietly romantic about a gem that asks for no artifice, that keeps its color change and its natural inclusions as signatures of origin and journey. Whether offered as an engagement token, a meaningful anniversary gift, or a vow to oneself, this ring is a vow to authenticity and to the slow miracles of geology, crafted so that the stone itself remains the centerpiece, needing minimal enhancement to mesmerize. Let this alexandrite be the place where your memory settles, a small world of shifting hues and honest light, carried forward by the craftsmanship and care of The Natural Gemstone Company.
