0.49ct India Alexandrite & Diamond Accent Statement Ring 9ct YG
Indian Alexandrite is one of the most extraordinary gemstones, renowned for its mesmerizing colour change. Shifting from a rich blue-green in daylight to a deep purple-red under incandescent light, this rare phenomenon, known as ‘The Alexandrite Effect’, sets it apart from all other coloured gems.
Originally discovered in Russia’s Ural Mountains in 1830, Alexandrite is now found in select locations, including India, Tanzania, and Brazil. However, fine-quality Alexandrite remains exceptionally scarce, especially in faceted sizes over one carat, often surpassing the value of Sapphire, Ruby, and Emerald.
With a Mohs hardness of 8.5, Indian Alexandrite is durable yet exotic, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a truly unique and valuable gemstone that embodies both mystery and transformation.
