Iris Oval Alexandrite Engagement Ring in 14K White Gold

This alexandrite ring centers a genuine lab-grown color-change alexandrite — oval cut (8×6mm, ~1.4ct) — in a scalloped pavé halo of solid white gold, with the pavé continuing halfway down the band. Choose your karat — 10K, 14K, or 18K — or upgrade to platinum. Alexandrite famously shifts between teal, blue, and purple depending on the light, making this a mesmerizing, one-of-a-kind engagement ring or statement piece. Choose moissanite or natural diamond accents.

The color-change alexandrite

The center is a genuine lab-grown alexandrite — oval, 8×6mm, ~1.4ct, 8.5 on the Mohs scale — with alexandrite's signature color shift from teal/blue in daylight to warm purple under incandescent or candlelight. We're transparent about origin: natural alexandrite is one of the rarest and most expensive gems on earth, so this is laboratory-grown alexandrite, with the same composition and color-change behavior at an accessible price. Curious how the effect works? Our article on whether synthetic alexandrite changes color explains the science, and you can explore more colored stones in our gemstone engagement rings.

The scalloped pavé halo

A scalloped pavé halo frames the oval center and continues halfway down the band, adding brilliance and making the center read larger. Choose your accent stones from the drop-down menu:

• Moissanite (D color): lab-grown, VVS1, 9.25 Mohs — brilliant, accessible, sustainable.
• Natural diamond (G/H, I1): conflict-free mined diamonds, eye-clean, 10 Mohs — traditional and enduring.

Choose your metal: 10K, 14K, 18K white gold, or platinum

This ring is solid white gold — the metal itself, not plating or vermeil over a base metal — with your karat selected from the drop-down menu. 10K is the most durable and most affordable; 14K is the classic balance of white brilliance and everyday strength (our default); 18K carries the highest gold content. For the ultimate upgrade, choose platinum — a naturally white, denser, hypoallergenic precious metal that never needs rhodium re-plating to stay bright. The neutral cool-white setting lets the alexandrite's color change read clearly, and the color is permanent: it won't wear off and won't turn your skin green. Our 10K vs 14K vs 18K gold guide breaks down the karat differences. Also available in rose or yellow gold on request.

Sizing & care

Clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush; avoid harsh chemicals. At 8.5 Mohs, alexandrite handles daily wear well. Please reference our sizing guide before ordering. An optional written appraisal can be added from the drop-down menu (non-refundable once completed).
