Month of June's Mystical Birthstone
Named after the Russian tsar Alexander II, Alexandrite was first discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the early 1830s. Its remarkable ability to exhibit different colors under varying light sources earned it the nickname "emerald by day, ruby by night." This rare phenomenon fascinated gem enthusiasts and quickly elevated Alexandrite to the status of a coveted gemstone.
This pendant features a pear-cut lab-grown alexandrite weighing 2.94 carats. It sits within a floating halo of diamonds, weighing .21 carats.
Complete with a petite diamond accent, this sterling silver necklace comes with an 18 inch chain, so it's perfect for gifting (or wearing yourself!).
In our neckalces, we use a lab grown alexandrite, but it still holds the shine and properties of a true stone! The base of the piece is 14k white gold, it holds a 6mm alexandrite along with an angel halo of white sapphires that make it pop! The 18in chain is included when you buy it, so the receiver can wear it right away.
What sets Alexandrite apart is its remarkable phenomenon known as pleochroism, where the gemstone displays different colors depending on the light source. In daylight or fluorescent light, Alexandrite typically appears green or bluish-green. However, under incandescent light or candlelight, it transforms into shades of red, purplish-red, or even raspberry. This mesmerizing color shift is due to the presence of chromium in its crystal structure, which selectively absorbs certain wavelengths of light.
