Alexandrite Leaf Engagement Ring Set in 14K Solid Yellow Gold

A leaf turns with the seasons; this stone turns with the light. Our leaf-inspired alexandrite engagement ring set pairs a color-shifting oval lab-grown alexandrite — bluish green by daylight, purplish red under candlelight — with warm solid yellow gold carved into a botanical silhouette. It is one of the most nature-forward designs among our alexandrite engagement rings, made for someone whose favorite color depends on the hour. Color-Shifting Alexandrite Oval 6 x 8 mm Center Leaf-Inspired Metalwork Alexandrite & Moissanite Accents Solid 10K, 14K, or 18K Yellow Gold Free USA Shipping The Engagement Ring An oval lab-grown alexandrite held within leaf-inspired solid yellow gold, accented by smaller lab-grown alexandrites and brilliant moissanite for extra light along the vines. The Matching Band A coordinating band completes the two-piece set, designed to sit beside the engagement ring or be worn beautifully on its own. One stone, two colors Alexandrite is famous for a trick almost no other gemstone can perform: a true color change. In daylight the oval center reads bluish green; under incandescent or warm evening light it shifts toward purplish red. The change is real and visible — not a shimmer or a flash, but the whole stone crossing from one color family into another. Our journal explains how lab-grown alexandrite changes color if you want the science behind the magic. Lab-grown, and genuinely alexandrite The center stone is lab-grown alexandrite — real alexandrite with the same chemistry, the same dramatic color shift, and the same impressive 8.5 hardness on the Mohs scale, grown in a controlled setting instead of mined. That hardness puts it just below sapphire, which makes it a confident choice for a ring worn every day. If you are weighing a created stone against a mined one, our guide to lab-grown vs natural alexandrite covers what actually differs. Along the band, smaller lab-grown alexandrites and moissanite accents echo the center stone’s glow. A leaf motif in warm yellow gold Yellow gold is the metal that makes botanical designs feel alive — the same warmth as sunlight through leaves. The sculpted silhouette places the color-changing stone inside an organic, leaf-inspired frame, giving the set the character of our leaf engagement rings and the broader family of nature-inspired engagement rings. The slender band, averaging 1.7 mm, keeps the focus on the stone and the vinework around it. Choose your karat Every ring in this set is solid gold all the way through — never plated over a base metal. Pick your karat from the drop-down menu: 10K yellow gold is the hardest and most affordable, 14K is our most popular balance of rich color and everyday strength, and 18K carries the highest gold content for the deepest, warmest hue. Our 10K vs 14K vs 18K gold karat comparison guide walks through the trade-offs, and the same design is available in white gold or rose gold on request.

At 8.5 on the Mohs scale, alexandrite handles daily wear gracefully: warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth keep the stones and the gold bright. Remove the rings for heavy or abrasive work and store them in their box between wears. Frequently Asked Questions Does the alexandrite in this ring really change color? Yes. The oval center stone shifts from bluish green in daylight to purplish red under incandescent or warm evening light. The change comes from the way alexandrite absorbs light, so it is a true color change you can watch happen as you move between rooms. Is lab-grown alexandrite real alexandrite? Yes. Lab-grown alexandrite is genuine alexandrite with the same chemical composition, the same color-changing behavior, and the same 8.5 Mohs hardness as its mined counterpart. It is grown in a controlled environment rather than pulled from the earth. What does this alexandrite engagement ring set include? The set includes the leaf-inspired alexandrite engagement ring and its matching band, sold together as a two-piece set. They arrive in a luxury ring box with free U.S. shipping. Can the two rings be worn separately? Yes. The set is designed to be worn together or separately, so the engagement ring can stand alone and the band works as an everyday ring in its own right. What are the accent stones? The accents are smaller lab-grown alexandrites paired with moissanite, a brilliant lab-grown gemstone with even more fire than diamond. Together they add sparkle along the leaf-inspired metalwork without competing with the color-changing center stone. How big is the center stone? The oval lab-grown alexandrite measures approximately 6.0 x 8.0 mm and weighs about 1.7 carats. Is alexandrite durable enough for everyday wear? Yes. Alexandrite measures 8.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, just below sapphire, which makes it one of the most durable colored gemstones available for an engagement ring worn daily. Which gold options can I choose? Solid 10K, 14K, or 18K yellow gold, selectable from the drop-down menu. 10K is the hardest and most affordable, 14K balances color and strength, and 18K has the richest golden hue. White gold and rose gold versions are available on request. Is the gold solid or plated? Solid gold all the way through, in every karat offered. There is no base metal underneath and no coating on the surface, and the color will never wear away or turn your skin green. Can I have the rings engraved? Yes. Complimentary engraving is included with the set, with a limit of 16 characters. Add your engraving request when you order. How long does production take? This set is made to order.
