Antique Style Alexandrite Ring 10.09 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This ring from The Natural Gemstone Company centers a rare, GIA certified 10.09 carat cushion shape alexandrite, displaying a striking bluish green to pink purple color change, with dimensions of 13.53 x 10.88 x 7.73 mm, a mixed brilliant cut, eye clean clarity at eye level, intense color saturation, and an excellent polish, with no enhancement and an origin of Russia. On the current market many alexandrites are small, heavily included, treated, or laboratory grown, and most commercially available stones underperform in their color change or clarity. By contrast this Russian gem combines a large carat weight with eye clean clarity and genuine, dramatic color change, characteristics usually reserved for the finest historical material. The mixed brilliant cut here is chosen to balance color concentration and sparkle, extracting both the depth of the green and the warmth of the pink purple, whereas many comparable pieces use cuts that disperse color or sacrifice brilliance. Because this stone is GIA certified, you are getting independent verification of origin and treatment status, a decisive advantage over uncertified specimens that can carry hidden enhancements or uncertain provenance.

Surrounding the alexandrite is a halo of white round natural diamonds totaling approximately 2.40 carats, graded Very Slightly Included VS1 and VS2, and color grade E, set in a handcrafted 14K yellow gold mounting, a combination that elevates both appearance and value. The near colorless E grade diamonds create a bright contrast that amplifies the color change, while the VS clarity grades ensure strong scintillation without visible inclusions, a clear step up from lower color, lower clarity melee often used in similar designs. The choice of 14K yellow gold is deliberate, the warm metal tone complements the pink purple phase and provides a subtle counterpoint to the bluish green phase, producing a more dynamic visual effect than plain white settings. Compared to mass market rings that rely on smaller synthetic centers or lower grade accent stones, this ring offers collector grade material, transparent certification, and superior craftsmanship, making it a more secure purchase and a better long term value. For buyers who prioritize authenticity, rarity, and optical performance, The Natural Gemstone Company presents this piece as a standout option, ideal for collectors and for those seeking an heirloom caliber alexandrite ring.
