14k Solid White Gold and Natural Alexandrite Ring

Abundant alexandrite deposits were first discovered in 1830 in Russia’s Ural Mountains. Those first alexandrites were of very fine quality and displayed vivid hues and dramatic color change. The gem was named after the young Alexander II, heir apparent to the throne. It caught the country’s attention because its red and green colors mirrored the national military colors of imperial Russia.

One of the alexandrite’s nicknames is “Emerald by day, ruby by night.” The colors of an alexandrite gemstone will transport you to a suave holiday party, where sparkling greens and reds abound. Yet the stone’s beauty is sure to captivate year-round.
