Alexandrite Bracelet

A genuine alexandrite bracelet would be so valuable that it would need its own guards!  As one of the rarest and valuable gemstones today, enough stones to make an alexandrite bracelet would cost hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars.

The world has been fascinated with alexandrite since its discovery in 1830 in Russia. Valued for its ability to dramatically change color from red to green, the new gemstone  was immediately made into jewelry for Russian royalty as well as the world's rich and famous.

Natural alexandrite completely changes color from bright red to bright green when exposed to sunlight. Although many alexandrite bracelets today are marketed as jewellery with genuine stones, most of them are simply color-changing chrysoberyl. They generally will not change color as dramatically as real alexandrite or don't change from red to green.

Lab-created alexandrites have the same properties as the natural gemstones, so if you are shopping for alexandrite bracelets, be sure to check its ability to change color. The more complete the color change, the more valuable the gemstone. A quality alexandrite simulate will not have brown spots or look brown in the sunlight. Clarity in simulates is an important value factor, too.

Your lab-created alexandrite bracelet will be easy to keep dazzling and beautiful. Since they are relatively hard, alexandrite jewelleries are not susceptable to to cracks, scratches or chips. Your alexandrite bracelet can be cleaned with commercial jewelry cleaner.
