Royal Araina Collection: Gemstones that you "fall in love" with

Named after his daughter, the "Royal Araina Collection" is a hand-picked selection of exceptional, noteworthy gemstones by Harshil Zaveri, the founder of StarRuby.in ®.

Why choose one gemstone rather than another?

That is where Harshil comes into his own, revealing that his sensibility extends far beyond simple expertise.

In addition to applying the gemological selection criteria, he seeks out stones that speak to him: those that evoke an idea, bring out an emotion, recall a memory, or tell a story.

Every gemstone in the "Royal Araina Collection" is a rare, timeless treasure highly sought-after by discerning collectors and gem connoisseurs.

Treasures of the Earth

"Treasures of the Earth" is a collection of noteworthy gemstones hand-picked by our team of gemstone experts. Every gemstone in this collection will captivate you with its intrinsic beauty and spectacular flair.

Few gemstones command attention through transformation quite like a fine alexandrite, and this 2.14 carat specimen does so with exceptional distinction. In daylight, it reveals a deep bluish green of striking depth; beneath incandescent light, the colour shifts decisively into a sumptuous reddish pink-purple. The change is strong, immediate and beautifully defined—the very phenomenon that has made alexandrite one of the most coveted collector gems.

Its rarity is heightened by near loupe-clean clarity, an uncommon achievement in a natural, untreated alexandrite of this size. The remarkable transparency allows its superior oval cutting to perform at its fullest, creating vibrant brilliance, crisp scintillation, and a lively play of light with minimal extinction.

Accompanied by reports from SSEF, GIA and GRS, this Madagascan alexandrite possesses the elusive combination I seek in truly important stones: a dramatic optical phenomenon, refined purity and masterful cutting. It is a gemstone with presence, sophistication and the unmistakable individuality that distinguishes a serious collector’s piece.
