A flower that changes its color depending on the light is a rare breed indeed but that’s why you’ll have with this mid-century Mexican sterling and synthetic alexandrite ring.

The stone is a showy 12mm in diameter and set very high and secure in six prongs which allow the crucial light to come in all the way down to the deep culet. The rays or petals of the sterling flower setting extend 7/8" across; they aid in providing more reflections as well as giving the ring a strongly modernist feel.
When viewed under different types of light, the gem changes color from a deep amethyst purple to a vivid fuchsia pin. Many call this a lab-created alexandrite. This type of stone is also referred to as synthetic spinel or synthetic color-change corundum. (The funny thing is, true alexandrites actually change from green to red hues, so why anyone thought to attach that name to these types of stones is beyond me!)
The ring is a size 5 and is stamped on the inside with several marks: Hecho en Mexico, Sterling, 925, Fl, and the Eagle assay stamp, No. 3. The ring is in superb condition. For design alone, it is noteworthy, but the stone will certainly spark many a conversation!
