Bright and Cheerful Color Shift

Alexandrite is famous around the world as the “magic” gemstone because it actually changes colors depending on the light. Because this specific gem has a medium-light tone, it stays beautifully bright no matter where you are. Out in the sunshine, it displays a fresh, sunny orangish-green. When you move indoors under warm lighting, it playfully transitions into a soft, glowing orange. It is a wonderful, natural conversation starter!

Hand-Crafted Charm and High Clarity

This gemstone features excellent Eye Clean (VS) clarity, meaning it is pure and free of distracting spots to your naked eye. It was shaped completely by hand into a timeless rectangular cushion shape using traditional “native cutting” techniques.

Because the gem cutter wanted to preserve as much of this rare stone’s impressive size as possible, you will notice a slight “window” (a small, lighter area in the center where light passes straight through) when looking directly down at it. This is a very normal, honest characteristic of authentic, hand-cut gems. It simply adds to the stone’s genuine, antique-style personality.

The Perfect Choice for a Custom Ring

The rectangular cushion cut is an absolute favorite for jewelry designers. Its soft, rounded corners look incredibly elegant on the hand. Whether you are dreaming of a unique, custom-made engagement ring or a remarkable pendant, this bright Alexandrite offers a beautiful touch of natural magic that you can cherish every day.
