Natural Alexandrite Rings

Settings   Graceful Trilogy: Natural Alexandrite & Diamond Engagement Ring in 18k White Gold   This stunning, brightly polished 18k gold ring showcases gorgeous rectangular cushion-shaped alexandrite complemented by two trillion-shaped alexandrites, amplifying its incredible color change phenomena. All three stones are securely held in prong settings and surrounded by shimmering round brilliant-cut diamonds creating a mesmerizing interplay of color and breathtaking scintillation.   Stone    The unique feature of this ring is that the center alexandrite has a 100% color change which is the main factor defining the value of this gemstone.   The stone easily changes color from vivid green to gorgeous reddish purple, making it a rare collector's gem. The center alexandrite has a few tiny inclusions coming to the surface, hardly seen by the unaided eye. They certainly do not affect the durability and overall beauty of the gemstone. Gemologists consider such mineral inclusions to be proof of the natural origin of alexandrite. Below are the quotes from GIA expert:"Alexandrite is a Type II (GIA Clarity Grading System) stone, and even the best natural alexandrite, unlike lab-grown alexandrite, is expected to contain many inclusions.""An alexandrite of good clarity may display a less prominent color change because the silky inclusions of rutile often enhance the change. Some people prefer a weaker color change in favor of better clarity, but the color change should be the most important factor in determining the stone's value." The color change is so STRONG that it can be easily observed not only in candlelight but any incandescent light like any yellow low-watt electric lamp's light.     GIA report #1499543778 Metal - 18kt White Gold Gemstone - Natural Alexandrite Gemstone Size - 5.61 x 4.08 x 2.46 mm Gemstone quantity - 1 Gemstone weight - 0.51ct Accent stone - Natural Alexandrite (trillion) Accent stone quantity - 2 Accent stone total weight - 0.70ct Accent stone - Natural Diamond Accent stone quality - G-H, VS1 Accent stone quantity - 52 Accent stone total weight - 0.76ct Ring weight - 4.08g Ring measurements - 23x21x9mm Rise above the finger -6mm Ring size - 7   ESTIMATED RETAIL REPLACEMENT VALUE - $8,340.00     YOU WILL RECEIVE GIA CERTIFICATE FREE OF CHARGE ($120 VALUE).
