Alexandrite rings are an emblem of royal elegance. Alexandrite is the birthstone for June, as well as the anniversary stone for a 55th wedding anniversary. Alexandrite was discovered in the early nineteenth century, around the 1830s. It was discovered in the Ural Mountains region of Russia, where there were emerald mines.
Alexandrite is a kind of the mineral chrysoberyl and it is recognized for its ability to change color. Alexandrite's color change is caused by the presence of iron and titanium in the mineral, as well as chromium. The color of alexandrite is frequently a mixture of distinct tones of green or blue, as well as varying shades of red. The color can be yellowish green or brownish green at times.
The value of alexandrite is determined by the color saturation. You’ll find that the alexandrites displaying stronger and darker color change command more price than others. It is because of this richness of color that alexandrite was once the heartthrob of the Russian ruling class during the reign of the Czars, and it is today the apple of the eye of the common public. The Alexandrite ring is a sign of wealth and strength. When the wearer of the ring is in danger, the alexandrite in the ring is claimed to change color irrespective of the lighting.
There are numerous designs and patterns in which Alexandrite rings are available. You can choose an alexandrite in the right shape and size from GemsNY's extensive selection of gemstones and ring styles to make your own ring. When designing your ring, you might want to think about the price of different alexandrites based on their grade and size.
A solitaire alexandrite ring is made up of a single center stone placed in a metal band, usually gold or platinum. In contrast, a two-stone alexandrite ring has two center stones rather than one. Consider a three-stone ring, which has a center stone surrounded on both sides by two diamonds.
Many people confuse a side stone ring with a three stone ring, but the two are not the same, despite the fact that side stones can be added to any alexandrite band. The center stone of a side stone alexandrite ring is surrounded by gemstones, usually diamonds, on the shank or metal band that forms the ring. The stones span the length of the metal band of the ring, sometimes completely, sometimes partially.
