Alexandrite Rings FAQ
Does an alexandrite ring really change color?
Yes, a genuine alexandrite ring changes color under different lighting. In natural or daylight, it usually appears green or blue-green. Under indoor or warm light, it can turn red, purplish red, or wine red. This color change is a natural optical property of alexandrite. It is also its most precious and unique charm.
What color change is best in an alexandrite ring?
The ideal color change in alexandrite goes from green or blue-green in daylight. It turns red or purplish red under warm light. This contrast from cool tones to warm tones is considered the most valuable effect. The clearer and more dramatic the shift, the higher the quality of alexandrite is usually considered.
Why are alexandrite rings so expensive?
It is mainly because alexandrite is extremely rare and has a unique color-changing effect. Natural premium alexandrite is produced in very limited quantities. Stones that show a clear color change under different lighting are even rarer. The stronger the color change, the higher the price. Besides, purity, clarity, and good cutting also increase its value.
Is the alexandrite ring durable enough for daily wear?
Absolutely! Alexandrite has a Mohs hardness of about 8.5. It is nearly as scratch-resistant as sapphire. It's not easily scratched or damaged with everyday wear. As long as you avoid severe impacts or contact with strong chemicals, an alexandrite ring can be worn as jewelry for a long time.
How can I tell if an alexandrite ring is real?
To tell whether an alexandrite ring is genuine, examine its color change and internal features. First, place the alexandrite gemstone under daylight and warm indoor light. A genuine shows a clear color change under different lighting. Moreover, examine the inside of the stone closely. Natural stones usually have small inclusions. A perfectly flawless stone is often a synthetic or an imitation one.
