Rare Antique Alexandrite & Diamond Halo Engagement Ring with Strong Color Change

Romantic, rare, and unmistakably antique, this extraordinary Edwardian-era engagement ring centers on a natural Ceylon alexandrite celebrated for its remarkable color-changing properties. In different lighting, the gemstone shifts from soft greenish tones to rich purplish hues—an optical phenomenon that has made fine alexandrite one of the world’s most coveted collector gemstones.

The oval-cut alexandrite is framed by a glittering halo of old European cut diamonds, whose hand-cut facets lend the ring a warm, candlelit sparkle unique to antique stones. Crafted in 14k yellow gold around 1900, the ring balances delicate elegance with exceptional rarity, creating a timeless heirloom with incredible character and history.

Refined and endlessly fascinating, this antique ring captures the romance of the Edwardian era while offering a gemstone presence that feels truly one-of-a-kind.
