Catalogue Note
Ring size: 5 ½
Accompanied by Gübelin report numbered 0608632, dated 22 August 2006, stating that the 26.54 carat alexandrite is natural, of Brazilian origin (Hematita mine), and displays a distinct colour-change. According to the appendix: "This exceptional gemstone displays a saturated and homogeneous colour combined with a very high degree of transparency. The well proportioned cut provides many internal vivid colour reflections, enhanced by a very pronounced colour change effect from bluish-green when viewed in daylight, to reddish-purple upon exposure to incandescent light. Such a combination of high clarity and strong colour-change effect in a Brazilian alexandrite exceeding 15 ct is very rare."
