One extraordinary stone, nothing to distract from it. This solitaire 2ct oval alexandrite engagement ring lets a single color-shifting gem do all the talking — teal to blue-green in daylight, softening to purple and violet under warm indoor light. Held in a clean, minimalist setting of solid 925 sterling silver with a bright rhodium finish, it is proof that the most striking ring in the room can also be the simplest.

A solitaire that changes with the light
Most solitaires rely on a single flash of white brilliance. This one has a second life. In cool daylight the oval alexandrite glows green to teal; step into warm incandescent light, candlelight or evening lamplight and it turns purple to violet. That dramatic color change is the rarest and most sought-after quality a gemstone can have, and here it takes center stage with no side stones to compete. If a clean, stone-forward look is what you are after, you will find kindred designs across our alexandrite engagement rings collection.
The 2ct oval color-shift alexandrite
The center is a generous two-carat lab-grown alexandrite, cut as a graceful 7 x 9 mm oval that elongates the finger and gives the color shift a broad, open face to perform on. Lab-grown alexandrite is chemically and optically the same as its natural counterpart, delivering the identical daylight-to-lamplight transformation that makes mined alexandrite one of the rarest gems on earth — only at a fraction of the cost. To see exactly how that dual-color effect works, read our guide on whether synthetic alexandrite changes colors, and for the full picture our overview of lab-grown versus natural alexandrite is essential reading.
A minimalist, comfort-fit setting
The band is deliberately understated — a slim, comfort-fit profile around 1.7 mm that keeps the eye on the stone and sits easily through a full day of wear. It is a versatile silhouette that stacks effortlessly with wedding and anniversary bands, and pairs naturally with matching pieces from our alexandrite jewelry range, from studs to an alexandrite necklace.
Solid sterling silver with a rhodium finish
The ring is crafted in solid 925 sterling silver and finished with rhodium, the same precious metal used on fine white gold. That rhodium layer gives the band a bright, mirror-white luster and a protective shield that helps resist tarnish and everyday scratches, so it keeps looking freshly polished. It is hypoallergenic and nickel-free — a comfortable choice for sensitive skin and everyday wear.
What alexandrite symbolizes
A gem that reveals a different color depending on how you look at it has long been associated with balance, transformation and good fortune — a quietly romantic emblem for a partnership that keeps revealing new depth. As the birthstone of June, it also makes a deeply personal engagement or birthday gift. If you are still weighing gemstones, our comparison of alexandrite versus sapphire is a helpful next step.

Frequently asked questions
Does the alexandrite change color?
Yes, and it is clearly visible on the finger. The oval center reads green to teal in cool daylight and shifts to purple and violet under warm incandescent light, candlelight or evening lamplight.
Is the alexandrite natural or lab-grown?
It is a genuine lab-grown alexandrite. It is chemically and optically identical to natural alexandrite, so you get the same rare daylight-to-lamplight color change at a fraction of the price of a mined stone.
How big is the stone?
The oval measures roughly 7 x 9 mm and weighs about 2 carats, giving it a generous, confident presence on the hand while keeping the elegant proportions of a classic solitaire.
Is this a solitaire with no side stones?
Yes. It is a clean solitaire designed so nothing competes with the color-shift alexandrite. If you would like accent stones added, message us and we can explore a custom option.
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 helps the ring stay looking freshly polished.
Is it comfortable for everyday wear?
Yes. The slim band has a comfort-fit profile, and alexandrite is very hard at around 8.5 on the Mohs scale, making this an easy ring to live in day to day.
Will sterling silver turn my finger green?
No. Genuine 925 sterling silver with a rhodium finish will not turn your skin green. Green marks come from low-quality or fake metals, never from real sterling silver.
Is it a good June birthstone gift?
Yes. Alexandrite is a birthstone for June, so this ring is a meaningful choice for a June birthday, an engagement or an anniversary.
What size should I order?
The ring is true to size, so choose your usual fit. If you are unsure or between sizes, contact us for guidance. Resizing is available and starts from a modest fee.
Can it be engraved?
Yes. You can add a personal engraving of up to 16 characters at checkout, such as a date or initials. Engraved pieces are final sale, so please double-check spelling.
How does it arrive and is it guaranteed?
It ships in a free ring box, backed by our lifetime warranty, with free USA shipping. The stone is ethically sourced and conflict-free.
