Fall in love with the Greta Garbo of gems: Alexandrite!
  Email This Article To A Friend

If you are lucky enough to be born in June, you’ve probably been in love with alexandrite most of your life. This amazing gemstone changes from green when you look at it in sunlight to red under incandescent light. It is perhaps the rarest gemstone to find and elusive as the great actress Greta Garbo!


Because of the extreme scarcity of alexandrite, the value of the stone makes it unattainable for most of us. A three-carat stone can cost $40,000 or more! But thanks to science, lab-created gemstones can possess the intense color change that can be found in the highest-quality genuine stones.


Lab-created alexandrite has all of the same properties as the mined gemstone. Because much of the natural stone rough on the market today has weak color change properties, lab-created stones are often preferred by most alexandrite lovers.


We’ve found a lab that grows the most magnificent alexandrite you’ve ever seen. But instead of making tiny 3-carat rings like many retailers, we’ve made huge, stunning pieces that will take your breath away! I mean, why have such a rare stone if people have to be up close to see it? Our alexandrites look purple in photos, but they will display color from vivid green to deep red! Choose from our magnificent leaf-design bracelet or our gorgeous flower bloom pendant. Both are stunning! Each stone has dozens of gem cuts to add amazing sparkle to these already beautiful gems!


So treat yourself to a little alexandrite! You’ll fall in love with this gorgeous, exclusive gemstone!
