3.23 ct Laboratory-Grown Alexandrite Asscher-Cut Gemstone

This 3.23-carat laboratory-grown alexandrite is described as shifting from blue to red as the lighting changes. Its square 8.00 × 8.00 mm outline and layered Asscher-style geometry give the color phenomenon a structured, almost kaleidoscopic frame. Because color change depends on the light source, its appearance may differ in daylight, warmer indoor lighting, and low-light settings.

Why We Chose It

We chose this gemstone for individuality rather than conventional grading-box perfection. Its color-change effect gives the piece more than one visual identity, while the Asscher-style symmetry makes the transformation feel deliberate and sophisticated.

How We See It

A clean bezel or double-claw setting would protect the clipped corners and allow the changing color to remain the story. White metal would keep the presentation crisp; yellow gold could create a warmer, more dramatic contrast when the red tones emerge.
