HOW TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR ALEXANDRITE RING DESIGN?
Customizing a ring is as exciting as it is
strenuous. When you invest in something as
precious as jewelry, you want to make all the
right decisions and still have some fun with
it. Dont worry, we know exactly how to strike
that balance. Here are a few simple tips that
will help you customize the Alexandrite ring of
your dreams.

1. Cut Size isnt everything. The cut of a
gemstone determines how it will interact with
light. In other words, cut affects brilliance and
a brilliant tanzanite will create the optics
that make it appear big. A deeply faceted and
well-cut gemstone will shine brighter and even
appear larger than a poorly cut gemstone that
exceeds the former in carat weight. If you want
a truly scintillating alexandrite ring, pick an
alexandrite with a great cut. While the cut is
a key feature in any gemstone ring design, it is
particularly important to alexandrite. A
lexandrite has color-changing properties that
make it appear green in daylight and red in
incandescent light.

It has been described as emerald by day and ruby
by night, and is even called the Chameleon
gemstone. While designing an alexandrite
engagement ring, it is important to focus on its
natural properties and find ways to enhance them.
2. Shape This will primarily depend on the
purpose that the ring intends to serve. A
cocktail alexandrite ring will usually have a
unique, fabulous shape while an engagement ring
will have a classic shape. Round-cut solitaire
gemstones are the most popular engagement and
wedding ring shapes. The simpler shapes are
easier to carry on a daily basis. Keeping with
the gemstones mysterious nature, an offbeat
fancy-cut Alexandrite will pay homage to your
rings uniqueness. You can also use the shape of
your center stone to enhance the overall size of
your alexandrite ring. Elongated shapes like the
emerald cut, marquise cut, and oval cut rings
not only make the center stone appear larger, but
they also look extremely flattering on ones
fingers.

3. Metal Choose your metal before you start
designing the ring. Alexandrite is usually a
well-saturated gemstone but lighter shades also
exist, wherein the stone may appear baby pink
and lime green. Rose gold will go incredibly
well with those lighter shades. A deeply
saturated alexandrite can either be paired with
white or yellow gold, as both warm and cool
tones will suit the color-changing
gemstone. Platinum and white gold are
interchangeable as far as a color scheme is
considered. You can select the metal based on
your budget and general preference. 4.
Setting Now that you have decided on the key
qualities of your alexandrite its time to
choose the setting of the ring. A setting may
sound boring but it can actually make or break
your jewelry. While settings serve functional
purposes they are also the ultimate creative
expression in jewelry design. In a halo setting,
the peripheral diamonds will draw attention to
the alexandrite center stone. Three stone rings
will also serve this purpose. Antique settings
are suitable for Alexandrite as both the stone
and the setting will emit a sense of mystery.
Here are some settings you should consider while
designing your Alexandrite engagement ring.
