{"product_id":"alexandrite-solitaire-rope-ring","title":"Alexandrite Solitaire Rope Ring","description":"This is the collection's showcase - a 4 mm round natural alexandrite, the largest stone in the range, lifted in a clean solitaire on a twisted rope shank. Alexandrite is the rare color-change variety of chrysoberyl: it reads cool teal-green in daylight and shifts toward a warm purplish-red under lamplight and candlelight, and at 4 mm that shift is easiest to catch. Alexandrite is a chrysoberyl and a 8.5 on the Mohs hardness scale with no cleavage, so it is genuinely tough for everyday wear - harder and more durable than most colored gems. Every center is a genuine natural alexandrite, not a lab-grown (Chatham) alexandrite and not a simulant, and its color-change is a natural property of the stone, not the result of any treatment. Natural alexandrite is rare, so the stones are modest in size by nature; the color shift is strongest in larger stones and subtler in the smallest. Alexandrite is a June birthstone and the gemstone for a 45th and 55th wedding anniversary. Clean it with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush. It ships boxed and ready to give.\n\u003cdiv class=\"ds-minifaq\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQuick answers\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e natural alexandrite, 4 mm, a color-change chrysoberyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetting:\u003c\/strong\u003e a 4 mm round natural alexandrite raised in a solitaire setting on a twisted rope shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14K White Gold \/ 14K Yellow Gold \/ 14K Rose Gold \/ Platinum, solid gold or platinum (not plated).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is alexandrite's color-change?\u003c\/strong\u003e Alexandrite shifts color with the light - cool teal-green in daylight or fluorescent light, warming toward purplish-red under incandescent bulbs and candlelight. It is a natural optical property of the stone, not a treatment. The shift is strongest in larger stones and more subtle in small ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a natural alexandrite?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Every center is a genuine natural alexandrite - not a lab-grown (Chatham-type) alexandrite and not a simulant.
