Victoria Art Deco Alexandrite Engagement Ring in Sterling Silver

Watch it change before your eyes. The Victoria Art Deco alexandrite ring centers a faceted oval that reads cool blue-green and teal in daylight, then warms to purple-red and violet under lamplight and candle glow. That living color-shift is the whole point of alexandrite — and in this open, vintage-inspired setting it is genuinely visible on the hand. Set in solid 925 sterling silver with a bright rhodium finish, it is a color-changing engagement or promise ring for anyone who wants something timeless yet quietly extraordinary.

The color-shift, up close

Alexandrite is one of the few gemstones that appears to change color depending on the light around it. Step outside into daylight or cool office light and the Victoria’s oval glows blue-green and teal; move indoors under a warm bulb or candlelight and the same stone blooms into purple-red and violet. Because this oval is faceted and held in an open setting, that shift is not a subtle trick — you will catch it doing so throughout an ordinary day. If you want to understand the science behind it, our journal explains exactly how synthetic alexandrite changes colors.

A vintage Art Deco silhouette

The Victoria draws on 1920s Art Deco jewelry — clean geometry, fine detailing and an elegant, architectural feel that frames the center oval without competing with it. It is a design made for someone who loves old-world glamour but wants a stone no one else at the table will be wearing. Explore the wider alexandrite engagement rings collection to see how the color-shift plays across different cuts and settings.

The lab-grown alexandrite

Natural alexandrite is one of the rarest gemstones on earth, which is why fine natural stones can cost more than diamonds. This ring uses lab-grown alexandrite instead: it shares the identical crystal structure, hardness and dramatic color-shift of mined alexandrite, but it is ethically created and far more attainable. You get the same optical magic without the natural-stone price tag. If you are weighing your options, our guide to lab-grown versus natural alexandrite lays out what actually matters.

Cubic zirconia accents

Slender simulated diamond accents flank the center oval, adding a crisp, brilliant flash that makes the alexandrite’s changing color read even more vividly. These cubic zirconia stones are cut for maximum sparkle and pair beautifully with the vintage detailing. Prefer a lab-grown diamond or moissanite upgrade?

Solid sterling silver with a rhodium finish

The Victoria is crafted in solid 925 sterling silver and finished with rhodium, the same precious metal used on fine white-gold jewelry. That rhodium layer gives the band a bright, mirror-white luster and adds a protective shield that helps resist tarnish and everyday scratches, so the silver keeps looking freshly polished. It is the detail that lets a sterling silver ring wear like something far more expensive.

Why alexandrite

Long tied to balance, transformation and good fortune, alexandrite is a fitting emblem for a relationship that grows and changes with the light of everyday life — which is part of why it feels so personal as an engagement or promise ring. It is also the birthstone for June. Curious how it compares to another collector favorite?

Sizing & care

Choose your size at checkout. If you are between sizes or unsure, reach out and we will 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 ring before showering, swimming or applying lotions and perfume, and store it in the velvet box when it is not being worn. A soft, dry cloth brings back the shine. With gentle care, the Victoria is made to be worn every day.
