Color change melee rings

[pregcurious]

Does anyone have examples of rings that use alexandrite or color change garnet melee? I am trying to design a mother's rings of sorts, and I would like to use alexandrite to symbolize June. If this doesn't work, I can go to pearl or agate, but my preference is alexandrite.

Hey I had tried looking a bit for something similar and it is very hard to find! The only ones I found were either very ugly or half and half. I'll post just a simple band with half alexandrite and half diamonds that is actually pretty stunning in my opinion!

Thanks, Austinj! I thought that JAR had one that has used color change garnets.

Is JAR someone on the forum? Sorry I am new

JAR stands for Joel Arthur Rosenthal, a jeweler in Paris.

This ring has colour change melee, either alex or cc sapphire as they didn't specify what the melee stones were (probably alex).

The ring is from JW Currans and tied (with another JW Currans piece) for the 2010 AGTA Spectrum Awards, Best of Show:
Platinum and silver “Empress” ring featuring a 15.58 pear-shaped Moonstone accented with color-change Garnets (19.36 ctw.), oval Moonstones (6.40 ctw.) and Diamonds (2.46ctw.).

Thanks, LoversKites. It's interesting how the center stone and halo are different colors.

Little alexandrites - the trillions too.

Fascinated by color change stones and love the concept. (Side note: anxiously awaiting a CCG education from Marlow one day )

At the moment I am interested in the 3 eastafrican sources for alex like changing CCG ( Taita Taveta, Nandagala and Bekily).

They look a bit different and would be interesting to collect a few and ask some research scientist to work about them....

Lilmosun - your little one from Multicolorgems is a Bekily CCG??

Yes...and thank you for pointing it out to me except I think you fueled another fire

 

[Marlow]

And why do you need CCG education?

Limosun, you have a CCG?

laughing...maybe to figure out what I should be looking for when buying...or what I want to buy next...actually, I was hoping you'd start show me your color-change thread...(or maybe its not such a good idea after all haha)

pregcurious - unfortunately, I only have a few CCGs - only one over a carat...and a baby alex...completely love good color change stones but can't afford them.
