Bezel Alexandrite Ring 1.00 Ct., Platinum 950

There is a singular romance in wearing a gem that carries history within its fire, a romance that this Russian alexandrite embodies with quiet authority, the bicolor miracle that has fascinated collectors and monarchs since the 19th century. Mined in the storied deposits of Russia, this 1.00 carat round alexandrite recalls the era when gemstones were prized as talismans of lineage and legacy, a stone whose color change from green to purple whispered of twilight and dawn. The cabochon cut of this piece emphasizes the gemos translucency and color shift in a manner that feels almost ceremonial, the softly domed surface inviting light to gather and transform, rather than to scatter in dazzle. Paired with a refined 14K white gold setting, the result is a ring that reads like a family heirloom imagined in the present, a piece meant to be worn and handed down, a vessel of memory and taste that speaks of tradition and endurance.

The gem itself is presented with precise, respectful measurements, at 6.35 by 6.32 by 2.56 millimeters, its round, cabochon form polished to an excellent finish that highlights vivid color saturation. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is slightly included, a natural fingerprint of the earth that lends character rather than detracting from the gemos presence. Crucially, this alexandrite has no enhancements, preserving its authentic tone and transition, an attribute prized by connoisseurs who seek provenance and purity. The ring setting has been conceived to enhance every aspect of the stone, the smooth bezel and gently open gallery supporting the cabochon so that light may enter and refract through the gemos body. The bezel frames the stone, providing protection and focus, while subtle openings beneath the seat allow internal light play to breathe, encouraging the green daytime hues to glow and the purple evening tones to bloom. The polished white gold mirror invites back reflected highlights that skirt the cabochons surface, drawing the eye to the vivid saturation, and offering a cool contrast that allows both green and purple to show their depth without one overpowering the other.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we craft settings that honor the gemstone first, creating designs that are as much about legacy as they are about contemporary wearability. This ring is designed to sit comfortably on the hand, its low profile encouraging daily wear while the secure bezel speaks to longevity and protection of a rare stone. The white gold was chosen for its tonal neutrality and reflective quality, a metal that elevates the alexandrites color change while remaining unobtrusive, allowing the stone to remain the central storyteller. For those who value the narrative of origin, this Russian alexandrite carries a provenance that collectors recognize, a natural clarity and polishing that affirm the gemos journey from the mine to a finished jewel. Owning this ring is to own a piece of that lineage, a wearable chapter of gemstone history that will respond to light and mood in ways both personal and timeless. We invite you to experience this alexandrite in person or through detailed images and certificates, to feel how the setting accentuates color and clarity, and to consider a piece from The Natural Gemstone Company as the start of a new family tradition.
