Few gemstones command the awe and intellectual admiration of alexandrite. Discovered in the imperial mines of Russia and named for Tsar Alexander II, it is the gem of duality—shifting hues from verdant green in daylight to rich crimson beneath incandescent light. At Ruby Gems, we consider alexandrite a scholar’s stone, a collector’s conquest, and an enduring emblem of nature’s most curious genius.

 

Our portfolio of alexandrites is curated with exceptional rigour. Each stone must exhibit a dramatic and well-balanced colour change, immaculate cut, and full gemological certification, often from both GIA and Gübelin. We specialise in rare Russian and Sri Lankan specimens, exceeding one carat—many of which are unenhanced and sourced through private, invitation-only channels. Their scarcity is profound; their presence, unforgettable.

 

To acquire an alexandrite from Ruby Gems is to secure more than a gem—it is to hold a phenomenon, a moment captured in mineral form. These stones are treasured not for spectacle, but for the cerebral satisfaction they evoke. For our clientele, an alexandrite is not worn to be seen, but known—deeply, privately, and with the sophistication of one who values transformation as the highest form of luxury.
