The Grand Prize: A Natural Alexandrite Hexagon Halo Ring

One lucky winner will receive a natural alexandrite ring - a hexagon-cut center stone framed by a brilliant diamond halo, valued at $1,280. It's a modern, architectural take on a classic halo: the clean geometry of the hexagon paired with the soft sparkle of pavé diamonds, built around one of the rarest gemstones in fine jewelry.

This isn't a lab stone or a substitute. It's a genuine, all-natural alexandrite - and that's exactly what makes this prize so rare.

What Makes Alexandrite So Rare?

Alexandrite is one of the most fascinating gemstones on earth because it appears to change color. In daylight it reads cool and green; under warm, indoor light it shifts to a purplish-red - an effect jewelers love to describe as "emerald by day, ruby by night." First discovered in Russia's Ural Mountains in the 1830s, fine natural alexandrite is scarcer than diamond, which is part of why it's so treasured.

It's also one of the birthstones of June, alongside pearl and moonstone - a meaningful choice for early-summer celebrations, engagements, and milestones.

To choose a color you love before anything is made, our gemstone page is the best place to begin.
