Set to centre with an oval old cut natural unenhanced Ceylon alexandrite in an open back claw setting with an approximate weight of 1.30 carats, encircled by fourteen cushion shape old mine diamonds in open back rubover and grain settings with a combined approximate weight of 0.70 carats, to an elegant elongated coronet cluster design featuring scalloped millegrain edging, a decoratively pierced gallery with scrolling motifs, and open backoling, leading to inwardly tapering raised shoulders with chenier detail and flowing through to a solid D-shape shank. Marked platinum, circa 1915, accompanied by Gemmological Certification Services report #5783-1799.

 Comments

Often described by as “emerald by day, ruby by night,” alexandrite is the very rare colour-change variety of the mineral chrysoberyl. This gemstone was originally discovered in Russia’s Ural Mountains in the 1830s, and was named after Czar Alexander II. Alexandrite deposits were later discovered in Ceylon, known as the “jewel box of the Indian Ocean”.



Alexandrite is considered one of the most coveted and rarest gemstones in the world. Fine examples displaying a clear colour change, strong saturation and good clarity are highly sought after by gem collectors and jewellery-enthusiasts the world over.
