One perfect drop of color that never stays the same. This Art Deco alexandrite ring features a graceful teardrop (pear) color-change alexandrite — green in daylight, purple by candlelight — framed by vintage detailing and a shimmer of simulated diamond in warm 14K rose gold vermeil. Elegant, romantic and just a little mysterious, it is a ring that rewards a second look every time the light shifts.

The elegant teardrop cut
The pear or teardrop cut is quietly flattering — its tapered point elongates the finger while the rounded end catches light like a solitaire, giving you the best of both worlds in one graceful silhouette. At a generous 2.0 carats it carries real presence, yet the vintage Art Deco framing keeps it feeling refined rather than showy. It is a shape that stands out beautifully across our alexandrite engagement rings and the wider alexandrite jewelry collection.
Green by day, purple by night
The reason this ring feels enchanted is its color-change center. In natural daylight the alexandrite reads green; under artificial light in the evening — incandescent bulbs, candlelight — it turns a soft purple. It is a genuine optical effect rather than a coating, so the stone quietly changes as your day turns to night. Keep in mind the exact colors vary with your lighting, which is exactly the point. To learn how the shift happens, our guide on how synthetic alexandrite changes color breaks it down simply.
The lab-grown alexandrite
The teardrop center is genuine lab-grown alexandrite — real chrysoberyl with the same color-change chemistry and 8.5–9 Mohs hardness as mined alexandrite, created in a controlled lab rather than the earth. Because natural alexandrite is one of the rarest gemstones in the world, lab-grown is what makes a vivid 2-carat pear like this wearable every day rather than locked in a vault. For the honest details, read lab-grown vs natural alexandrite.
A shimmer of simulated diamond
Vintage-inspired simulated diamond (CZ) accents frame the teardrop, adding a crisp flash of white sparkle that makes the color-change center glow even deeper. It is a bright, budget-friendly way to bring classic engagement-ring shimmer to the design, and it flatters the moodier alexandrite beautifully.
What alexandrite symbolizes
Named for a Russian tsar and discovered in the 1830s, alexandrite is associated with transformation, balance and adaptability — a poetic emblem for a love that grows and changes over time. It is also the modern June birthstone, making this ring a heartfelt proposal, promise or birthday gift. Weighing it against other colored stones? See alexandrite vs sapphire.

Frequently asked questions
Does the alexandrite change color?
Yes. It reads green in natural daylight and shifts to purple under evening light — incandescent bulbs or candlelight. The change is a real optical effect from the stone's chemistry, so you will watch it move as day turns to night.
Is the alexandrite real?
Yes — it is genuine lab-grown alexandrite, real chrysoberyl with the same color-change chemistry and hardness as mined alexandrite. It is grown in a controlled lab rather than mined, which is what makes a vivid 2-carat teardrop like this affordable.
What is rose gold vermeil?
Rose gold vermeil is real gold over sterling silver 925 — the warm, luminous look of rose gold at an easier price than a solid-gold piece. If you would like gold all the way through, the same design is also available in solid gold; just reach out.
Are the accent stones real diamonds?
The accents are simulated diamond (CZ), chosen for their crisp, bright sparkle that frames and flatters the color-change teardrop. It is a budget-friendly way to add classic engagement-ring shimmer around the alexandrite.
Which way does the teardrop point?
The pear cut is set with its tapered point along the finger, which elongates and flatters the hand, while the rounded end catches light like a classic solitaire. It is one of the most graceful shapes for a statement ring.
What colors will my stone show?
Expect green in daylight and fluorescent light, and purple under incandescent bulbs or candlelight. The exact reading depends on your lighting, so the ring looks a little different from morning to evening — the joy of alexandrite.
How big is the center stone?
The teardrop alexandrite measures 7.0 x 10.0 mm, approximately 2.0 carats — a generous, elegant center with real presence on the hand.
Is it a good June birthstone gift?
Yes. Alexandrite is the modern June birthstone, so this teardrop ring makes a heartfelt June birthday, anniversary or promise gift with a genuinely unique color-change stone.
How durable is it for daily wear?
Very. Alexandrite is 8.5–9 on the Mohs scale, harder than aquamarine or quartz and just below sapphire, so it handles everyday wear with ease. Avoid hard knocks and remove it for rough activities to keep it pristine.
Is it hypoallergenic?
Yes. The ring is nickel-free and hypoallergenic, built on a genuine sterling silver 925 core under the rose gold vermeil, so it is comfortable for sensitive skin.
How should I care for the ring?
Remove it before showering, swimming or exercise, keep it away from lotions and fragrance, and store it dry in its velvet box between wears. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth to keep the rose gold and stone luminous.
Are the stones ethically sourced?
Yes. Lab-grown alexandrite has no mining footprint, and all of our stones are ethically sourced and conflict-free, so you can wear the ring with complete peace of mind.
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.
