Alexandrite Rings in Sterling Silver  

Natural Color-Changing Chrysoberyl Set in .925 Silver

Alexandrite was first identified in Russia's Ural Mountains in 1830. The original deposits produced stones with strong color saturation, but those mines are now depleted. Today, natural alexandrite comes from Brazil, Sri Lanka, and East Africa. Each source produces stones with distinct color profiles. Brazilian material tends toward brownish tones, while Sri Lankan stones show a cleaner green-to-purple shift. The color-change phenomenon requires mixed lighting to appreciate. Under fluorescent or LED light, you see the green phase. Switch to warm tungsten bulbs, and the same stone turns purple or raspberry. This happens because alexandrite transmits both red and green wavelengths, with the dominant color depending on the light source's spectrum. Our sterling silver settings let the stone remain the focus. Each ring uses .925 silver with genuine natural alexandrite. We source stones with visible color change, not the weak shift found in lower grades. SilverRush Style has specialized in natural gemstone jewelry since 2005. Browse the collection and find a ring that responds to light the way alexandrite should.
