This natural Alexandrite weighs 2.06 carats and is cut in an oval shape with a modified brilliant crown and step-cut pavilion. In daylight, it displays a saturated blue-green body color with strong presence across the face of the stone. Under warmer light, it shifts decisively to a deep purple, showing a pronounced and immediate color change that is clearly documented by GIA 2231354292. The clarity is transparent, allowing the color to remain the dominant feature rather than internal characteristics. Alexandrite was first discovered in Russia in the 19th century and quickly earned its reputation based on the strength of its color change, not its cutting style. In the 1990s, Alexandrites from Brazil followed suit. Regardless of origin, stones were cut to preserve color and weight rather than ideal proportions, especially when the rough showed exceptional chromatic behavior. This tradition continues today with fine Alexandrite, where cutters often prioritize retaining material that carries the strongest color change. This stone has a shallower cut than modern precision standards, which results in a broader visual spread and a lighter interaction with depth. In practical terms, this allows the color change to present more openly across the surface rather than concentrating it in a narrow window. For collectors who value bold, unmistakable color change over geometric perfection, this type of cutting reflects an intentional compromise that favors the rarest attribute Alexandrite can offer.

A true Padparadscha must be certified as “Padparadscha” Sapphire by a lab. Not all labs are reliable for such responsibility. We will never self-certify a sapphire as Padparadscha. We pride ourselves on using reliable third party independent labs like GIA, and AGL for most of our gems. These labs follow the latest testing methods, like color stability testing, to confirm that gems are actually “Padparadscha.” We recommend watching this video, to learn more, check out our Padparadscha guide.
I found The Rare Gem doing hours of research on the perfect gem for my engagement ring and decided on Alexandrite for its beauty and unique color changing qualities. It was important for us to buy from a reliable and trustworthy source and The Rare Gem was just that.
Loved the alexandrite ring I got from the rare gem. It looked even better in person than on the website. I had a lot of difficulty finding a jeweler that had alexandrite and I was very happy with the selection that Justin had.
If you're in the market for an exceptional heirloom quality piece of jewelry - Justin and his team have you covered. Incredibly satisfied with the final results, and hopefully the first of many pieces for my fiancée-to-be
Great friendly service. They were very accommodating with my scheduling constraints. They were very knowledgeable and took their time with me. They were genuinely interested in my satisfaction. Their website provides a great education on Alexandrite.
I had an amazing experience working with Justin and his team. I'm so glad I found the Rare Gem, because I was having a hard time sourcing a quality Russian stone prior. The whole process was a breeze. Justin was extremely knowledgeable and responsive and offered several options.
