Accent Stones Alexandrite Ring 1.15 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.15 carat cushion shaped alexandrite, with precise dimensions of 6.59 by 5.67 by 3.72 millimeters, and a mixed brilliant cut that combines step and brilliant facets to maximize both color depth and scintillation. The stone exhibits a classic alexandrite color change from green to purple, with vivid color saturation and an excellent polish, originating from Brazil, a locality known for producing stones with strong dichroism and a pleasing balance of hue under varying light sources. Clarity is described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem presents as essentially eye clean to the unaided observer while retaining natural internal characteristics that confirm its natural origin and contribute to its individuality. The mixed brilliant facet arrangement gives the cushion outline a lively pavillion and a faceted crown that both preserve color concentration and allow lively dispersion, so the green and purple tones appear saturated and nuanced rather than washed out, a key consideration for educated buyers assessing the optical performance of a color change gem.

The mounting is crafted in platinum 950, chosen for its durability and subtle white background that enhances the alexandrite hue without introducing warm reflections, and the setting architecture has been executed to showcase the stone while maintaining secure support. Four slender prongs elevate and cradle the cushion alexandrite, allowing maximum light entry to the pavilion and side light to reveal the full spectrum of color change, while the open under gallery prevents color damping and improves the visible depth of field. The shoulders are graduated with white pear shaped natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.20 carats each, and round white natural diamonds weighing approximately 0.072 carats total, all graded Very Slightly Included clarity in the VS1 to VS2 range and color grade F, selected to provide bright, neutral contrast that amplifies the alexandrite without competing with it. The combination of precise prong work, tapered shoulders, and mirror polished shank produces a visual frame that focuses the eye on the center stone, while the high quality diamond accents add measured brilliance and refine the overall composition. This ring from The Natural Gemstone Company is therefore both a gemological statement and a wearable piece of fine jewelry, ideal for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a rare color change specimen set in enduring platinum craftsmanship.
