Product Details
The Demi is crafted in solid 14k gold — your choice of warm yellow, romantic rose, or cool white — or elevated to platinum for maximum durability and a naturally bright, white luster. Each metal is stamped and hallmarked, so the quality you see is the quality you get, inside and out.
At the heart of this ring sits a 9mm × 7mm lab grown Chatham Alexandrite — equivalent in size to a 1.75 ct. diamond — celebrated for its extraordinary color-change magic: it shifts from lush green in daylight to deep violet-red under incandescent light. Because this phenomenon is a natural optical property of the stone, every Alexandrite will show its own unique color variations.
Flanking the center oval are .06 ct. tw. round lab grown white diamonds, adding brilliant sparkle that frames the Alexandrite without competing with its mesmerizing color shift. Lab grown diamonds carry the same chemical and optical properties as mined diamonds — just a more conscious choice.
The Demi features a standard fit interior — the inner surface is flat and rests easily against your finger all day. At just 1.5mm wide, the oval design sits delicately on the hand, making it effortlessly stackable or stunning worn alone.
Every surface of The Demi is brought to a polished finish, giving the metal a mirror-like shine that amplifies the color-play of the Alexandrite and the brilliance of the diamond accents. Should everyday wear introduce fine surface marks over time, a jeweler can buff the band back to its original gloss.
Getting the perfect fit for a delicate ring like The Demi makes all the difference in comfort and security. Take time to measure carefully with our Rosie Ray Ring Sizer before placing your order. Find your size.
Before You Buy
The honest answers
Yes — the center stone is a genuine lab grown Chatham alexandrite, which has the same chemical and optical properties as mined alexandrite, just created in a controlled environment. Lab grown doesn't mean fake; it means you're getting an authentic color-change gemstone without the rarity premium of a natural stone.
Absolutely — alexandrite's color shift is one of its most dramatic real-life qualities. In natural daylight it tends to read blue-green, while incandescent or candlelight pulls it toward purple-red or raspberry. Photos can capture this, but seeing it shift on your own finger in different rooms is something else entirely.
Yellow gold warms up the alexandrite's green tones; rose gold flatters the purplish-red shift beautifully; white gold keeps the focus on the stone's color change with a cool, clean backdrop; and platinum is the most durable and naturally white metal, ideal if you want a forever setting with zero fade.
Platinum is denser and more scratch resistant than gold — it develops a patina over time rather than losing metal. 14k gold is a durable everyday choice, though it can show fine surface scratches over years of wear; a quick professional polish restores its shine.
The round lab grown white diamonds are set to handle the realities of daily wear, but like any fine jewelry with prong or channel settings, it's smart to have the ring inspected by a jeweler once a year to confirm the stones are still seated snugly. Catching a loose prong early is the best way to protect them long-term.
14k gold and platinum are both well tolerated by most people with sensitive skin. If you have a known nickel sensitivity, 14k rose or yellow gold alloys occasionally contain trace nickel — platinum is typically the safer choice.
Soak the ring in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for a few minutes, then gently brush the stone and setting with a soft toothbrush and rinse thoroughly. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for alexandrite, and remove the ring during harsh cleaning tasks or activities that could expose it to strong chemicals.
