The 11.02-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, those alexandrites that hail from the mines of Brazil display a stunning blue-green hue under white light and change to a rich reddish-purple when viewed under incandescent light. This brilliant-cut example is certified by GemResearch Swisslabs, the American Gemological Laboratories and the Swiss Gemmological Institute

Rarer Than Diamond: This natural alexandrite is one of the rarest gemstones in the world—actually rarer than diamond. I recently set this stunning gem into a platinum and diamond ring to commemorate a couple’s first child, born in June (the birth month for alexandrite). Its color-changing properties make it even more special—and nerve-wracking—to work with!Crafting unique custom jewelry like this is what I love most. What do you think about using rare birthstones to tell your family’s story?Clic
