Monumental in size, the 11.15-carat Brazilian alexandrite at the center of this ring possesses the remarkable ability to change color. Unlike their Russian counterparts that change from green to red, alexandrites that hail from the mines of Brazil display a stunning bluish-green hue under white light and change to a rich, deep purple when viewed under incandescent light. This oval-shaped example is certified by the American Gemological Laboratories as a Classic Brazil alexandrite, meaning that the stone possesses all the qualities for which alexandrites of the region are so prized. Further, the alexandrite is completely untreated, with no enhancements to its color. Encircled by approximately 1.96 carats of pink and white diamonds, this alexandrite ring exudes an elegant sophistication when displayed on the finger. Set in platinum and 14K gold.
While the alexandrite was first discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the 1800s, many of the finest examples of these stones have been found in Brazil. For example, the 17.08-carat stone known as the Whitney alexandrite can be found in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, having been gifted to the National Gem Collection by Carolyn Wright Whitney. Like the present stone, the Whitney alexandrite changes from bluish-green in daylight and fluorescent light to an intense purple in incandescent light. In terms of both rarity and originality, these Brazilian alexandrites are in a class all their own.
