This ring was built several years ago, a 1.48ct alexandrite stone was added to the band, just recently reappraised/cleaned, with the results pictured here in different lights-

Very blue daylight and very red candlelight. Everything around is blue and red too. Even the metal is color change. This is the beauty and mystery of alexandrite !

Im posting older pics of pretty good alexandrite to show the lighting does effect the looks of the stone, my source is very basic lights but i try to use the best source i have at my disposal, the first pic uses a white light source in a unlighted room with a black background, the next pic is using 2 candles a short distance from the pendent with a black background & the last pic is with the pendent in a dark room, no light & using a mirror to get the light more covering the pendent & nothing else, this pic shows the 2 candles reflected on the cabs pretty well, no photo-shop except to size the pics for posting-
These are the latest pics just shot with lighting that is not as good plus the camera needs upgrade-the pics do show color change & the cab catseyes show very well, maybe i will upgrade but not a priority at this time-
