Teardrop Alexandrite Engagement Ring in 14K White Gold

No halo, no flourish, nothing to distract. This teardrop alexandrite ring puts a 1.5 carat pear-cut lab-grown alexandrite on a sleek 2 mm band of solid white gold and lets the stone do all the talking — bluish green by daylight, purplish red by candlelight. When the gem itself changes color twice a day, the smartest setting is the quietest one.

The case for simplicity

Most engagement rings compete with their own center stone. The Teardrop refuses to: a clean 2 mm band, a single pear-cut alexandrite, and a discreet line of accent stones — that is the entire design. It is the plainspoken sibling in our alexandrite engagement rings collection, and it will appeal to anyone drawn to minimalist engagement rings who still wants a stone with a secret. Fewer design elements also means the eye lands exactly where it should: on a gem that will not look the same at dinner as it did at breakfast.

Teardrop, pear — same beautiful shape

Jewelers say pear; everyone else says teardrop. Either way, the 6 x 8 mm center stone carries approximately 1.5 carats in a silhouette that tapers to a point, elongates the finger, and wears larger than a round of the same weight. The shape has been having a long moment — our pear-shaped engagement rings guide covers why — and you can compare settings across our pear-shaped engagement rings. Most wearers point the tip toward the fingernail, but there is no wrong way up.

A real alexandrite, twice the personality

The center stone is lab-grown alexandrite: genuine alexandrite with the same chemistry and 8.5 Mohs hardness as the mined gem, grown in a laboratory. Its defining trait is a true color change — rich bluish green under daylight and cool light, shifting to violet and purplish red under warm light. The effect comes from the stone itself, not the setting; our article on how lab-grown alexandrite changes color shows exactly what to expect. Cool white metal is the ideal stage for it, keeping both of the stone’s moods honest.

Choose your metal

Every Teardrop ring is made to order in the metal you select from the drop-down menu:

• 10K white gold — the hardest and most affordable of the golds, excellent for everyday wear.
• 14K white gold — the most popular all-rounder, balancing durability, purity, and value.
• 18K white gold — the richest gold content, with a luxurious, substantial feel.
• Platinum — naturally white, the densest of the metals, and hypoallergenic for sensitive skin.

Our 10K vs 14K vs 18K karat guide compares durability, color, and price so you can choose with confidence.

Accent stones, your way

A restrained line of accents adds sparkle without stealing the scene. Choose D-color, VVS1-clarity moissanite — a real lab-grown gemstone with more fire than diamond and a 9 Mohs hardness — or natural conflict-free diamonds in G/H color with eye-clean I1 clarity. The wedding band is sold separately; many couples complete the look later from our alexandrite wedding bands.

Sizing & care

Pick your size from the drop-down menu — half and quarter sizes are offered — and measure at home with our ring size guide; sizing tools vary between jewelers by up to half a size, so it is worth checking. At 8.5 on the Mohs scale, alexandrite handles daily wear with ease. Clean the ring with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush, pat dry, and store it apart from harder stones such as diamonds. Remove it for heavy work or contact with harsh chemicals. Your ring ships free within the USA in a complimentary luxury ring box.
