The Gemstone That Changes Color. The Earrings That Change Everything.
Alexandrite is one of the rarest and most extraordinary gemstones on earth — a stone that appears green in daylight and transforms to a rich, vivid red or purple under incandescent light. It is the only gemstone in the world with a dramatic, visible color change, and it has captivated collectors and royalty since its discovery in Russia's Ural Mountains in the 1830s. These stunning stud earrings feature 1.5 carats of lab-grown alexandrite set in cool 14k white gold — two gemstones in one, for the price of none of the rarity.
Why You'll Love Them
- 1.5 Carats Total Weight — A generous, substantial size that showcases the alexandrite's extraordinary color-change phenomenon beautifully on the ear
- Color-Change Alexandrite — Appears green to blue-green in natural daylight and shifts to red, raspberry, or purple under incandescent or candlelight — a phenomenon so remarkable it has its own name: the alexandrite effect
- Lab-Grown Alexandrite — Physically, chemically, and optically identical to natural alexandrite, with the same dramatic color change, the same hardness (8.5 on the Mohs scale), and the same breathtaking beauty — at a price that makes owning genuine alexandrite possible
- 14k White Gold Setting — Cool, neutral white gold is the ideal setting for alexandrite, allowing the stone's color to shift freely without the warmth of yellow gold influencing the perception of the green or red tones
- Stud Setting — Clean, classic, and universally flattering; the stud setting keeps the focus entirely on the extraordinary color of the alexandrite
- Ready to Ship — In stock and ready to deliver — no custom order wait times
The Alexandrite Effect: Nature's Most Extraordinary Phenomenon
Alexandrite's color change is caused by its unique absorption of light — it absorbs wavelengths in the yellow portion of the visible spectrum, leaving both green (dominant in daylight) and red (dominant in incandescent light) to reach the eye. The result is a gemstone that is genuinely two different colors depending on the light source. In daylight or fluorescent light: green to teal. Under a lamp, candle, or incandescent bulb: red to raspberry to purple. No other gemstone does this. It is, quite simply, magic.
June's Birthstone. A Gift Unlike Any Other.
