Alexandrite Rings

An Alexandrite ring is a type of gemstone ring that features an Alexandrite gemstone as its centerpiece. Alexandrite is a rare and valuable gemstone that is known for its unique color-changing properties. It can appear green in daylight or fluorescent light, and red under incandescent light or candlelight. This mesmerizing color change makes Alexandrite rings highly sought after by collectors and jewelry enthusiasts.

Alexandrite was first discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the 1830s. It was named after the Russian tsar, Alexander II, and quickly became a favorite gemstone of the Russian royal family. Today, Alexandrite can also be found in other countries such as Brazil, Sri Lanka, and Madagascar.

Alexandrite is a relatively durable gemstone with a hardness of 8.5 on the Mohs scale. This makes it suitable for everyday wear in rings. However, like all gemstones, Alexandrite can still be scratched or damaged if not handled with care. It is recommended to remove Alexandrite rings when engaging in activities that may expose the gemstone to potential damage.
