Lab Created Alexandrite Jewelry

Because genuine alexandrite gemstones are so incredibly rare, most gemstone lovers settle for lab-created alexandrite jewelry. Depending on the quality of simulate you find, your lab-created alexandrite jewelleries can be as beautiful as the real thing.

The best thing about lab-created alexandrite jewelry is that you can find large gemstones. Such little quantity of alexandrites have ever existed, so to find a large stone is virtually impossible outside of crown jewel collections. And with the small amount of alexandrite actually mined today, it's not likely any new large genuine gems will ever exist.

When shopping for lab-created alexandrite jewelry, be sure to note its color-changing ability. Just like with the genuine stones, simulated alexandrite should dramatically change color in the sunlight. The best ones will change from pure green to pure red.

Although most gemstones are considered more valuable depending on their clarity, it's not true with alexandrite or lab-created alexandrite jewelry. An opaque alexandrite that changes dramatically from red to green is more valuable than a clear one that doesn't change as sharply.

You'll find stunning lab-created alexandrite jewelry in a variety of designs. Look for it a variety of precious metals, including gold and sterling silver. High-quality lab-created alexandrites are set in stunning earrings, pendants, necklaces and bracelets.

Lab-created alexandrite jewelry should be quite durable since the high-quality simulates contain the same properties as the genuine gemstone. Since it is hard a gem, your alexandrite jewelry is less likely to be cracked, chipped or scratched. You can clean your lab-created alexandrite jewelry with commercial jewelry cleaner.
