Antique Style Alexandrite Ring 10.09 Ct., 18K Yellow Gold

This ring is a tribute to time and story, an heirloom born of nature and artistry that evokes the grandeur of a bygone age. At its heart sits a GIA certified Russian alexandrite of extraordinary presence, 10.09 carat, cushion shape, measuring 13.53 x 10.88 x 7.73 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut that captures light and movement. This gem is transparent and eye clean when examined at face level, with intense color saturation and an excellent polish, and it exhibits the rare and magical color change from bluish green to pink purple and reddish purple that made alexandrite legendary in the courts of the 19th century. Surrounding the center stone is a halo of white round natural diamonds totaling approximately 2.80 carats, graded VS1, VS2 in clarity and E in color, each facet set into 14K yellow gold to create a luminous frame that reads like a crown. The setting and proportion recall classical design principles, where balance and harmony lend themselves to a design that feels both historic and utterly contemporary.

Beyond its material excellence, this ring carries symbolism that resonates with enduring values. The color change of the alexandrite has long been associated with transformation and resilience, a gem that mirrors the wearer as light and circumstance shift, suggesting renewal and inner strength. The cushion cut, ancient in lineage yet timeless in refinement, represents steadiness and protection, while the surrounding diamonds symbolize constancy and the many small vows that make up a lasting relationship. Set in warm 14K yellow gold, the composition references sunlit traditions, legacy, and the continuity of family line, inviting this piece to become a personal talisman passed from one generation to the next. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor the provenance and authenticity of each stone, the Russian origin and absence of enhancement of this alexandrite underscoring its rarity and value. This ring is more than a jewel, it is a living narrative, a wearable emblem of transformation, sovereignty, and devotion, crafted for those who seek meaning as much as beauty.
