Solitaire Alexandrite Ring 1.06 Ct., 14K White Gold

There are few gems that quietly declare their rarity the way this alexandrite does, and as the curator at The Natural Gemstone Company I am delighted to present a ring that belongs to a very small circle of collectors and connoisseurs. At the heart of the piece sits a transparent 1.06 carat oval alexandrite, with dimensions of 5.96 by 4.64 by 4.68 millimeters, masterfully fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut to maximize sparkle and color play. Under daylight this stone leans into a vivid yellowish green, and under warmer illumination it takes on a brownish orange warmth, a transformation that embodies the romantic and elusive nature of true alexandrite. The color saturation is intense, the polish is excellent, and the clarity is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a testament to its natural origin and individuality. This alexandrite is untreated, with no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source respected for producing gems with exceptional character and depth. For those who appreciate the provenance of a stone as much as its beauty, the combination of Ceylon origin, natural color change, and meticulous cutting makes this gem a standout within any private collection.

The setting and metal work are equally selective, designed to elevate rather than overwhelm the gemstone, so that each glance returns to the stone itself. The ring is fully cast and finished in platinum 950, chosen for its enduring strength and its cool, bright tone which perfectly complements the alexandrite as it transitions between hues. A delicate four prong crown secures the oval gem, lifting it above the band so light can animate every facet, while the slender platinum band maintains a modern, almost architectural purity that reads as both contemporary and timeless. The profile is deliberately restrained, allowing the gem to be the protagonist, and the high polish on the platinum conveys a quiet luxury that will age gracefully. This is not a mass produced item, it is a singular expression of skill and material, offered in very limited quantities to preserve its exclusivity. Owning this ring signifies membership among a refined few who value authenticity, exceptional craftsmanship, and gemstones that carry a story.

Beyond its immediate beauty, the ring is designed to become a timeless treasure, an heirloom that acquires meaning with each passing year. The alexandrite’s color change is not merely a visual curiosity, it is a deeply personal chameleon like quality that mirrors moments and memories, transforming with the light of a morning, the amber of an evening, and the reflection of a loved one’s smile. Slight inclusions, visible only at close inspection, are embraced as the natural fingerprint of the gem, evidence of its journey beneath the earth and a guarantee that what you hold is genuine and unenhanced. This authenticity, combined with the resilience of platinum 950, means the ring is ideal for daily wear, yet worthy of ceremonial occasions. Its balanced proportions allow it to pair effortlessly with other pieces, while its distinctive color change ensures it remains the focal point, passing from generation to generation as a story in platinum and color.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we believe that a piece like this should be delivered with care and certainty, which is why each ring is accompanied by detailed documentation of the gem’s specifications, its origin, and the confirmation of no enhancement. Our stock of such alexandrites is intentionally limited, because true natural color change stones of this quality are rare and we protect that rarity for collectors and clients who understand value. For clients who desire personalization, we offer bespoke services, including custom engraving, alternative mounting styles, and complimentary consultations to ensure the ring sits and feels exactly as you imagine. To preserve the beauty of both the gem and the platinum setting, simple care is recommended, such as gentle cleaning with a soft brush and mild soap, occasional professional inspection of the prongs, and avoidance of harsh chemicals. If you seek a ring that will mature into a family treasure, that will mark milestones and quiet celebrations alike, and that will belong to an intimate group of appreciators, this Ceylon alexandrite ring, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, is an invitation to own something exceptional and enduring.
