Any thoughts on price?

In my country, you could not have that ring made for that price so there's that. It's hard to get anything made of gold for less than a few hundred dollars so I'm not concerned about the price.

I think alex prices scale exponentially and I do not know the 0.1-ct market. I also do not know if it's "natural" or the quality of the melee -- but at that price point it's not cost-effective for the vendor or you to get a report from a reputable lab. Just wear and enjoy! And keep some old-school incandescent bulbs at home!

You have some good points thanks. How can I tell if its melee quality? Looks pretty clean to me. I do usually send cheap rings I find to GIA. I do feel strongly it's a natural alexandrite. It was sold as such and having a few it looks natural as opposed to lab.

I dont know much about Modani as a company but on research it looks like they try to make some nice stuff!

The price seems quite reasonable, as LilAlex said. You could expect to pay that for the semi-mount alone. With regard to color change quality, I'm no expert, so I'll leave that for others to decipher. Sure is pretty though!! Congrats!!
