Alexandrite Jewelry: The Color-Changing Stone of the Tsars

Alexandrite: The Most Magical of All Gemstones

Alexandrite jewelry fascinates with a property that no other gemstone in the world possesses to such an extent: it changes color. Greenish-blue in daylight, reddish-orange to purple in artificial light. One stone, two personalities.

The History of Alexandrite

Discovered in the Urals in 1833, named after Tsar Alexander II on his birthday. In the Russian national colors of green and red – immediately declared the national stone of Russia. Ural alexandrites are almost exhausted today – genuine specimens are extremely rare and valuable.

Color-Change Quality

• Weak color change: 20-40% color change – most affordable category
• Moderate color change: 40-70% – good value for money
• Strong color change: 70-100% – top quality, extremely expensive

Origin

• Russian Urals: Best green and red, hardly available anymore
• Brazil: Most common origin today
• Tanzania and Sri Lanka: Good quality

Laboratory-Grown Alexandrite

Synthetic alexandrite is chemically identical – with the same color-change effect for a fraction of the price. Ideal for people who want the beauty without the investment.
