Marquise Cut Dream Boat 💜 This witchy wonder is a sizeable imitation Alexandrite (lab created corundum) gemstone in a fancy boat-shaped setting. Synthetic alexandrite stones are often of the “colour change” variety, changing hue in natural or artificial light. But this one is different! It has a property known as pleochroism – it is able to be two colours at the same time depending on the angle of light hitting the stone. How is that for magical! 💙💜 The colour shift is from an intense violet to rose, with a little pale blue sneaking in sometimes 🔮
I was captivated by the intense purple hue of this stone the moment I laid eyes upon it 💜 The huge marquise cut is the perfect compliment for its subtle colour-shifting abilities. It has a huge presence on the hand and the detailing on the gallery makes it as arresting from close up as it is from a distance.
Hallmarked 9ct to the inside of the band with a makers mark that I haven’t been able to identify. This ring has definitely been someone’s “special occasion” piece as it shows absolutely no signs of wear – the stone is crisp without scratches or chips.
