Not sure of your size? Measure it in two minutes

Two minutes with a strip of paper now saves a fortnight later. A size change after it has been sent means posting it back and waiting for the replacement.

1. Cut a strip of paper about 5 mm wide.

2. Wrap it round the base of the finger — snug, but it should pass the knuckle with a little resistance.

3. Mark the overlap, lay it flat, measure in millimetres. Find that number in the circumference column below.

  • Measure in the evening. Fingers are largest at the end of the day. Measuring at 8am in January is the single most common reason a ring turns out tight.
  • Between two sizes? Take the larger. A ring you cannot get off is a worse problem than one that turns.
  • Wide bands run small. 6 mm or wider, go up half a size.
  • Adjustable pieces need no size at all — they open a little and hold.

Not sure? Email your measurement to asi8@gmail.com and we will tell you which number to choose. We would far rather spend five minutes on that than remake a ring.

The story

Green by daylight, red by lamp. It tells you about the room you are in.

The Urals, 1830s. Miners looking for emerald pull out green crystals that behave correctly all day and then, by candlelight that evening, turn red.

The stone was named for the young Alexander, later Alexander II of Russia. And the coincidence was too good to leave alone: green and red were the colours of the Imperial Russian military. A stone found on Russian soil that wore the empire's colours and changed between them depending on the light.

It became, briefly, the most fashionable gem in Russia. A stone that was loyal in two lights.

The physics is chromium in chrysoberyl, sitting in a narrow window where the crystal transmits both green and red almost equally and lets the light source decide. Daylight is blue-rich and the green wins. Candle and lamplight are red-rich and the red does. The stone is not changing. The stone is telling you about the room.

The Ural deposit was effectively worked out within decades.


Now the disclosure, and it is the most important one on this site.

This stone is laboratory-created alexandrite. Natural alexandrite of this size and quality is one of the rarest gem materials on earth, and a natural stone in this ring would put it into five figures, several times what this ring costs.

Lab-created alexandrite is chemically and structurally the same material, grown rather than found, and it performs the same colour change for the same reason. What it does not have is the hundred and ninety years of Ural rock behind it.

I will not sell you a story as though it came with the stone. The story is real. The stone is new. You should know which is which.

A spoken intention, not a treatment. The stone is the anchor, not the cure, and nothing here replaces a doctor.

Before you ask

The questions people actually send us.

When would it get here?

It is posted to you directly from our maker, tracked and signed for — to the United Kingdom that is 5–10 days, usually within a week. The date in the buying panel above is the real latest date it should be with you; it moves forward every day and it is not a countdown put there to hurry you.

Is the silver solid, or is it plated?

Solid 925 sterling silver, all the way through. We never plate base metal and call it silver. This particular design carries a plated finish over that silver, which is why it looks the colour it looks. Plating is a surface and it wears; the silver under it does not.

Will my stone look exactly like the photograph?

No, and it should not. Alexandrite comes out of the ground, so colour, depth and inclusions differ from one to the next. The photographs show a real one, not a rendering — yours will be its own. If that difference would disappoint you, write to us before you order and we will tell you honestly how much variation this stone has.

What size should I take?

Take the size you already wear on that finger. If you do not know it, the measuring guide on this page takes about two minutes with a strip of paper. Between two sizes, take the larger — a ring you can get off is worth more than a ring that only just goes on.

What if I change my mind, or it does not fit?

Fourteen days from the day it arrives to tell us, and a further fourteen to post it back — that is the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, and we do not try to write around it. Faulty or not as described is always our cost. The whole policy is here, in plain English.

Do you post to where I live?

The UK, the twenty-seven EU countries and Australia. To the UK the delivery is free on every order, tracked and signed for. Europe and Australia are free too, apart from the smallest bracelets, where a small tracked postage is shown at checkout, before you pay — never added afterwards. If your country is not on the list at checkout, we cannot post there yet, and we would rather say so than take your money and find out.

Do I have to do the ThetaHealing part?

No. It is a ring, and it is a good ring on its own. The feeling download is written out above so you can read it, use it, or ignore it — nothing is charged for it and nothing is done without your say-so. Some people buy the piece for the stone and never think about the rest, and that is a completely ordinary way to own it.

Is any of this medical?

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. What you read here about stones is history and folklore, told as history and folklore with dates and sources. A ThetaHealing feeling download is a spoken intention, not a treatment. Nothing on this page treats, prevents or cures anything, and none of it replaces a doctor.

Can I ask something that is not here?

Yes, and it gets a real answer from a person — before you buy, not after. Write to us here. If we do not know something about a piece, we will say we do not know rather than fill the gap.

What it has been carried for

Alexandrite

A stone that was loyal in two lights.

  1. 01
    The one everybody knows

    Change

    Green by daylight, red by lamp. Carried for transformation for the simple reason that it visibly does it, in your hand, in about the time it takes to walk indoors.

    Russian, from the 1830s
  2. 02
    Less known

    Two loyalties

    Found in the Urals and named for the young Alexander, later Alexander II. The coincidence was too good to leave alone: green and red were the colours of the Imperial Russian military. A stone found on Russian soil wearing the empire’s colours.

    Ural emerald mines, 1830s
  3. 03
    Almost nobody knows

    It is describing the room

    Chromium in chrysoberyl, sitting in a narrow window where the crystal transmits green and red almost equally and lets the light source decide. The stone is not changing. It is telling you what kind of light you are standing in.

    Physics, not folklore

All of the above is history and folklore, written down because it is real and it is interesting. It is not a claim about what the stone will do. Some people feel something. Some don’t. More in The Codex

Behind ASİ · Founder & ThetaHealer

Jewellery for the intention you choose to carry.

I am a young entrepreneur and ThetaHealer. ASİ is where my love of jewellery meets my interest in intention, personal meaning and the stories we carry.

I am building a brand for people who want to feel a connection to what they wear. A stone, an animal or a small knot can become a reminder of something you choose for yourself.

A little more about my approach

ThetaHealing is part of my personal practice and the perspective I bring to ASİ. I see jewellery as a place for a personal intention: a quiet pause, a new beginning, or a promise to yourself. You decide what your piece means.

Stone meanings on this site are symbolic associations, not promised physical or psychological effects. Jewellery and spiritual practices do not replace healthcare.

Created with intention.
