Details
A twisted rope of metal wraps the band and carries the eye up to a cushion alexandrite at the center, an heirloom detail that catches light along every strand. The lab-created center runs 1.33 to 2.53 carat, hand-picked for a strong change, cool green in daylight and warm red under a lamp. Alexandrite wears at 8.5 on the Mohs scale, so the rope and the center both hold for good. Set your metal and carat below; a natural alexandrite center can be sourced and quoted by concierge.
Shown complete with a real Cushion alexandrite center from 1.33 to 2.53 carat, a lab-created colour-change alexandrite, from $1,499 all-in. The price is the finished ring: setting, the alexandrite center you choose, and the labor to set and size it. Alexandrite is a colour-change chrysoberyl at 8.5 on the Mohs scale, bluish-green in daylight and purplish-red under lamplight, and durable enough for everyday wear. It is genuine chrysoberyl, not colour-change sapphire and not a simulant. These calibrated stones ship without an individual lab report.

Questions
What is at the center? A real lab-created Cushion alexandrite, from 1.33 to 2.53 carat. Choose the carat and metal on this page.
Is a lab-created alexandrite real? Yes. It is true alexandrite (chrysoberyl) with the same 8.5 Mohs hardness and the same real bluish-green to purplish-red colour change as a mined stone, grown in a controlled environment for a cleaner face at a lower price. It is not glass and not a look-alike.
What is the colour change? Alexandrite reads bluish-green to teal in daylight and cool light, then shifts to a purplish-red or raspberry under incandescent lamplight and candlelight. The change is real, reversible, and permanent.
Is this colour-change sapphire sold as alexandrite? No. This is genuine chrysoberyl alexandrite, not colour-change corundum. Alexandrite is its own mineral at 8.5 on the Mohs scale, and we describe it accurately rather than blur it with sapphire.
Can I get a natural alexandrite? Yes, as a concierge-quoted special order. Natural alexandrite is one of the rarest gems on earth, sold as individual stones rather than calibrated centers, and priced accordingly.
Does it come with a certificate? These calibrated stones ship without an individual lab report. We hand-check every one for a strong colour change and a clean face.
Is the price all-in? Yes. The price is the complete ring with the alexandrite you select, set and sized to order.
