A gem with a secret. The Skye Kite® Alexandrite Ring Set centers on a kite-cut alexandrite that quietly transforms with the light — cool blue-green and teal by day, warming to purple-red and violet under lamplight and candle glow. Paired with a matching band and cast in solid 925 sterling silver with a bright rhodium finish, it is a vintage-inspired engagement or promise set for anyone who loves a ring that never looks quite the same twice.

The magic of a color-changing center
Alexandrite earned its fame for a single, remarkable trick: it changes color depending on the light around it. Under cool daylight the kite center reads green to teal; move indoors under warm incandescent or candlelight and it shifts to purple-red and violet. That transformation is the whole point of this set, and it is genuinely visible as you go about your day. The sharp geometry of the kite cut makes the effect even livelier, sending color skating across the facets. It is a design that feels equally at home among vintage-inspired and kite cut alexandrite engagement rings.
The engagement ring
Holds the kite-cut color-shift alexandrite as the statement piece — the focal point that carries the day-to-night transformation.
The matching band
A slim coordinating band that nests neatly against the main ring. Wear the pair stacked, or slip the band on solo like one of our alexandrite wedding bands.
The color-shift alexandrite
The center is a lab-grown alexandrite, kite-faceted to make the most of its dual personality. Lab-grown alexandrite carries the same optical color-change that makes natural alexandrite one of the world’s rarest and most collectible gems, so you get that theatrical daylight-to-lamplight shift without the museum price tag. Curious how the effect is even possible? Our explainer on whether synthetic alexandrite changes colors lays it out, and if you are comparing your options, our honest look at lab-grown versus natural alexandrite is the place to start.
A brilliant simulated diamond accent
Bright simulated diamonds trace the setting, adding a crisp flash of white sparkle that frames the color-shift center and makes each hue read sharper. It is a smart, budget-friendly way to bring classic engagement-ring shimmer to the design without competing with the star of the show. Prefer a lab-grown diamond or moissanite upgrade? Just message us — most of our designs can be tailored.
Solid sterling silver with a rhodium finish
Both rings are crafted in solid 925 sterling silver and finished with rhodium, the same precious metal used on fine white gold. That rhodium finish gives the set a bright, mirror-white luster and a protective layer that helps resist tarnish and everyday scratches, keeping the silver looking freshly polished. It is hypoallergenic and nickel-free — the quiet detail that makes a sterling silver set feel like fine jewelry.
What alexandrite symbolizes
A stone that shifts with its surroundings has long stood for balance, adaptability and good fortune — a fitting emblem for a partnership that grows and changes together. As June’s birthstone, alexandrite also makes a deeply personal gift.

Sizing & care
Choose your size at checkout. If you are between sizes or unsure, we are glad to help — and if the fit is not quite right, resizing is available and starts from a modest fee. To keep the color shift vivid and the rhodium finish bright, remove the rings before showering, swimming or applying lotions, and store them in the velvet box when not worn. A soft, dry cloth brings the shine straight back. With gentle care, this is a set made to be worn every day.
Frequently asked questions
Does the alexandrite change color?
Yes, and the shift is visible on the finger. The kite center reads green to teal in cool daylight and turns purple-red to violet under warm indoor light, candlelight or lamplight. Moving between light sources is part of the joy of wearing it.
Is the alexandrite natural or lab-grown?
It is a lab-grown alexandrite. It carries the same optical color-change chemistry that makes natural alexandrite so rare, which is how you get a dramatic daylight-to-lamplight shift at an accessible price.
What is included in the set?
Two coordinating rings, the kite alexandrite engagement ring plus a matching band designed to nest alongside it. Wear them together or apart, and the band doubles as a promise or stacking ring.
Why choose a kite cut?
The kite shape is modern and geometric, and it flatters the finger by drawing the eye upward. Its angled facets also make the color shift more dynamic, catching and scattering light as your hand moves.
What are the sparkling accents?
Simulated diamonds that add a crisp white brilliance and frame the color-shift center. If you would prefer a lab-grown diamond or moissanite accent, reach out and we can tailor the design for you.
What metal is it made from?
Solid 925 sterling silver, finished with rhodium for a bright white luster and extra protection against tarnish and scratches. It is hypoallergenic and nickel-free.
What does the rhodium finish do?
Rhodium is the same precious metal used to finish fine white gold. It gives the silver a mirror-bright shine and adds a protective layer that keeps both rings looking freshly polished.
Is this a good June birthstone gift?
Absolutely. Alexandrite is a birthstone for June, so this set makes a meaningful and unusual choice for a June birthday, an engagement or an anniversary.
Will sterling silver turn my finger green?
No. Because it is genuine 925 sterling silver with a rhodium finish, it will not turn your skin green. Green marks come from low-quality or fake metals, never from real sterling silver.
Is it durable enough for everyday wear?
Yes. Alexandrite is very hard, around 8.5 on the Mohs scale, making it well suited to daily wear. Avoid hard knocks and remove the rings for rough activities to keep the set pristine.
Can it be engraved?
Yes. We offer complimentary engraving of up to 16 characters at checkout, so you can add a name, date or short message. Engraved pieces are final sale, so please double-check spelling.
Does it arrive gift-ready?
Every order ships in a free luxury velvet gift box and is backed by our lifetime warranty, ready for a proposal or to give as a keepsake. All stones are ethically sourced and conflict-free.
