Description

THIS IS AN ALEXANDRITE RING WITH A 1.02 CT OVAL RUSSIAN ALEXANDRITE CENTER.THE COLOR CHANGE IS A 99% AS YOU CAN ALSO SEE FROM THE PICTURES .
THE RING IS IN 14 K WHITE GOLD.I JUST RECENTLY SET IT IN A NICE FILIGREE DESIGN RING WITH 0.5 CT OF H/SI1 DIAMONDS SO THE RING IS BRAND NEW .
RUSSIAN ALEXANDRITE MINES HAVE CLOSED FOR A WHILE NOW SINCE THEY WERE DEPLETED .
THERE WAS SOME SPORADIC MINING IN THE 90'S AND THAT IS HOW I GOT THIS GEMSTONE .THE CUT IS AN EXCELLENT MODERN OVAL CUT (NO PRONOUNCED WINDOW) SINCE THIS ALEXANDRITE WAS MINED IN THE 90'S.
I BOUGHT IT FOR MORE THAN THE AMOUNT THAT I AM ASKING FOR BECAUSE I HAVE TO SELL IT FOR FINANCIAL REASONS.
THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE MOST PRIZED ITEM IN MY COLLECTION .
THIS IS IN NO WAY A RUSSIAN SYNTHETIC.
I DO HAVE A BACKGROUND IN GEMOLOGY AND ONE OF THE BASIC RULES ARE THAT SYNTHETIC RUSSIAN ALEXANDRITES NEVER TURN GREEN UNDER DAYLIGHT OR FLUORESCENT LIGHT.THEY ARE ALWAYS EITHER BLUE OR PURPLE .THESE RUSSIAN SYNTHETICS ALSO ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR CURVED STRIATIONS FOR INCLUSIONS AS OPPOSED TO NATURAL INCLUSIONS.
IF YOU NEED A GUBELIN LAB CERTIFICATE I WILL PROVIDE IT FOR YOU BUT IT MIGHT TAKE ME UP TO 4 WEEKS TO GET IT .
I ALSO INCLUDED A PICTURE OF THE COLOR CHANGE THAT YOU TYPICALLY SEE IN THE FINEST QUALITY RUSSIAN ALEXANDRITES IN MUSEUMS ( UNDER FLUORESCENT AND INCANDESCENT LIGHT ) AND AS YOU CAN SEE ITS EXACLTY THE SAME TYPE OF COLOR CHANGE AS IN THE RING DISPLAYED .
THIS ALEXANDRITE HAS ALSO SOME NATURAL INCLUSIONS AND COLOR CHANGE THAT IS ONLY TYPICAL FOR RUSSIAN ALEXANDRITES .
THIS WILL BE A GREAT HEIRLOOM PIECE TO PASS DOWN TO FUTURE GENERATIONS AS RUSSIAN ALEXANDRITES WITH THIS TYPE OF COLOR CHANGE AND SIZE ARE JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNTS TO THE HANDFUL OF COLLECTORS IN THE WHOLEWIDE WORLD WHO POSSESS THEM .
