Description

Two Stone Style
This birthstone engagement ring features two pear shaped center stones of 0.86 ctw each. The stones represent the months of June and September.
Alexandrite is one of the birthstones symbolizing the month of June. The other two are pearls and moonstone. An Alexandrite gem holds a unique characteristic when it comes to color. It is known as a color changing stone and to be rarely mined. When viewed in sunlight, an alexandrite gem appears blue-green, and shifts to reddish-purple when indoors. This birthstone’s trait adds an interesting detail to any piece.
The blue sapphire used in this ring symbolizes the month of September. It is a highly precious, blue colored, gemstone. The design of this engagement ring blends the blue tones of the sapphire with the fascinating color hues of the alexandrite.
Both stones are centrally located, with the pear tip of each pointing away from the other. The effect that this layout creates is so distinctive and adds an extra layer of detail. The overall look of this design is both unique and fun. The claw prong setting secures the two gemstones in place and contributes to its exceptional look.
Customization
You can recreate this design with the birthstones of your choice with a metal color of your preference. This piece could also be an inspiration for a family ring, in which you enjoy a cluster of smaller birthstones assorted together. Our designers are always ready to help you with any request and provide you with sketches and renderings of your dream piece.
