Natural Alexandrite Rings: What You Should Know
1. Natural vs. Lab-Created Alexandrite
-
Are Safiya alexandrites natural?
Yes. Every alexandrite used in our rings is a 100% natural gemstone. We do not sell lab-created or synthetic alexandrite. Our alexandrites are carefully selected for their natural beauty, clarity and distinctive color-changing properties. Learn more about the differences between natural and lab-created alexandrite. -
How can you tell if an alexandrite is real?
Natural alexandrite should be evaluated by an experienced gemologist using appropriate gemological testing. Larger and more important stones may also be accompanied by independent laboratory reports. Safiya provides a certificate of authenticity and independent appraisal with our jewelry, giving customers confidence in the gemstone they are purchasing. Read our guide to real alexandrite for more information about authenticity, origin and identification.
2. Why Brazilian Alexandrite Is Exceptional
-
Where do Safiya alexandrites come from?
Our alexandrites are natural, untreated gemstones sourced from the Hematita mining region of Brazil, one of the world's most important sources of fine-quality alexandrite. -
What makes alexandrite so remarkable?
Alexandrite is prized for its extraordinary ability to change color under different types of light. Fine stones can appear bluish-green in daylight and develop rich plum-red tones under warm incandescent light. Each natural alexandrite is unique, so the strength and character of its color change varies from stone to stone. Explore our alexandrite color-change guide to understand this remarkable optical phenomenon in greater detail.
3. What Determines an Alexandrite Ring's Value?
-
Why are natural alexandrite rings valuable?
Fine natural alexandrite is exceptionally rare, particularly in larger sizes with strong color change and good clarity. Unlike lab-created material, natural alexandrite was formed in the earth and the combination of geological conditions required to produce it is uncommon. -
What affects the price of an alexandrite?
The value of a natural alexandrite is influenced by several factors, including the strength and quality of its color change, color saturation, clarity, carat weight, cut and origin. Larger fine-quality stones with exceptional color change can command substantially higher prices because they are increasingly difficult to find.
