Alexandrite is one of the rarest gemstones and good quality alexandrite is more expensive than diamond. This is because it's a colour change stone, appearing green/teal in daylight and red/purple in incandescent light. Because good quality natural alexandrite can be so expensive, lab grown alexandrite has become very popular. Lab grown gemstones are chemically identical to their earth mined counterparts. This means that lab grown alexandrite has the same colour change properties as natural alexandrite.

Indoors the warm rose gold blends with the purple presentation of the alexandrites. Outdoors the alexandrite changes to teal, strongly contrasting with the rose gold tone.

Alexandrite is the colour change variety of the gemstone chrysoberyl. It has a hardness just slightly less than sapphire so is a good choice for an everyday ring. It was first discovered in the Ural Mountains in Russia and is named after Czar Alexander II.

Care Instructions:

- Gold does not tarnish so it's not necessary to use commercial cleaners or the (included) anti-tarnish cloth.
- If a build up develops under the setting(s) resulting in the stones looking less brilliant, simply take a soft tooth brush, dip it in some warm
soapy water and proceed to scrub away the dirt/build-up under the setting(s).
- In addition to free cleaning and polishing for life you are also welcome to send/bring back your piece at any time for a complimentary
assessment.
- Over time a ring you wear every day will get small scratches developing into a lovely 'worn' polished patina. I encourage people to learn
to love this burnished finish as constantly polishing your ring actually removes a tiny bit of metal each time.
