Work on the basics

Before you even start designing your own alexandrite ring or a tanzanite ring for that matter, you must give enough consideration to the 4Cs of the gemstone, which are color, clarity cut, and carat weight.

Look for a gemstone that doesn’t have any eye-visible imperfections called inclusions. The color of the gemstone must be what you desire but evenly saturated. In the case of an alexandrite engagement ring, look for the strength of color shifts apart from the purity of color.

Your desired gemstone must exhibit symmetry in cut irrespective of the shape you choose whether round, oval, pear, cushion, emerald, marquise, etc. And finally, the carat weight which primarily depends on the budget your wallet allows.

The metal for your alexandrite ring or tanzanite ring is crucial to its overall appeal. Select a metal and its color wisely depending on your skin tone and the depth of the color your gemstone displays.

Now let’s walk you through the six fascinating ring designs for your precious tanzanite ring or alexandrite ring.

1. Heart-shaped gemstone ring

Heart has been a symbol of love and passion for centuries and it still continues to be one. Since it’s practically impossible to give your heart to your heartthrob, a heart-shaped gemstone ring is your refuge. A heart-shaped tanzanite ring will exhibit the enormous value you accord to your significant other besides underlining the rarity of love similar to the way this purple-blue gemstone, tanzanite, is.

2. Tear-drop gemstone ring

An alexandrite ring with a gemstone shaped like a teardrop will be the emblem of your love. The color shifting of the alexandrite gemstone will give your girl an ‘aha’ factor when she witnesses the spectacular change of color from daylight to incandescent light. Set it in white gold or platinum to let the colors of alexandrite pop.

Alexandrite is a pretty hard gemstone and so it will reflect the permanence of your love. Besides, the color change will also symbolize the beautiful phases your love has witnessed or is going to witness in the future.

3. Two-stone gemstone ring

Two-stone rings have been the apple of the eye of celebs and royals for centuries. Napoleon proposed to his lady love with a two-stone ring. Such rings are called toi-et-moi rings, meaning ‘you and me’. You can fashion the two gemstones that represent each one of you in a way that becomes a perfect representation of two souls coming together as one.

4. Three-stone gemstone ring

Do you want your alexandrite ring to transcend the boundaries of time? If yes, then there is no better option than to go for a three-stone ring. Not only will it give extra charm and character to your ring but it will also be an emblem of your timeless love. The three gemstones in your ring will symbolize the past, present, and future of your never-ending love for each other. Isn't it utterly romantic and beautiful?

5. Halo gemstone ring

You might be wondering how I would get my tanzanite ring to sparkle more. What is the best possible way to make the color of indigo blue gemstone pop out the most?

Well, the answer lies in the halo setting. The halo setting is the one you should consider if you are yearning to gift some bling to your girl. The center stone nestled in the cradle of tiny diamonds surrounding it will leave your inamorata spellbound and will make her fall for you all over again.

6. Pave band gemstone ring

You might have seen tiny diamonds embellished on the metal band of the ring. Such a setting is called pave setting. The band or the shank (as it is also referred to) can be split or bypassed in any other style. A gemstone ring set in a pave band gives a fuller look to your finger and completes your jewelry set as nothing else does.

The finesse and glamor associated with pave setting is unmatched. If you are creating a unique alexandrite ring, you can use tiny alexandrite gemstones instead of diamonds or a combination of diamonds and alexandrites on the band. The display of colors in such a setting will be truly dazzling and there is no doubt that your SO will absolutely love it.

The verdict

Designing your own gemstone ring is quite easy once you know what you and your love want as a couple. The six amazing ring designs here can serve as a beacon for you to start your ring-creating journey together; it will be a fulfilling experience that both of you will cherish for the rest of your lives.
