Description

Alexandrite stud earrings in solid platinum, 14k white, yellow, or rose gold, or sterling silver

Your color change Alexandrite earrings are crafted to order using ethically sourced gemstones and recycled, US-refined precious metals. Each piece is expertly hand-set in our rural Oregon studio. Founded in 1996, we are a woman-owned US microbusiness dedicated to creating quality fine jewelry that stands the test of time.

Our stud earrings are perfect self-love gifts, with their brilliant colors uplifting your spirits and infusing your mood with joy. They are also a popular choice for men's earrings. Additionally, these earrings make wonderful gifts for Mother's Day, Christmas, your partner, or bridesmaids.

A June birthstone, Alexandrite is a stone of duality

As complex and regal as you are, these studs change color with the lighting from rich teal to deep burgundy. Named for Alexander II, Alexandrite is Russia's national gem and one of the rarest, most expensive stones in the world with a price exceeding that of diamond. As such, it has spawned many imitations. These are no imitation: they're cut from crystals grown in a lab to exactly replicate their formation in the depths of the earth. They are Alexandrite, at a fraction of the cost of mined Alexandrite.

Legend holds that it enhances the wearer's ability to make clear decisions between difficult paths. It is also strongly associated with healers and healing. 

Pick the perfect jewelry for your unique vibe!

Alexandrite jewelry would be perfect for witchy, goth, and dark academia looks because of its magical color changing properties and deep colors. Because of its chameleon-like nature, it's a perfect June birthstone and a great Gemini stone. It also fits right in with casual, boho looks.

What are Lab Created gems?

These are no imitation: they're cut from genuine Alexandrite crystals grown in a lab to exactly replicate their formation in the depths of the earth. Lab grown gems provide high-quality gems at a lower cost while avoiding conflict and other ethical issues that sometimes accompany mined stones. 

Solid Platinum, 14k gold, and silver post earrings: 

Solid recycled precious metal secures your gems using traditional master goldsmithing techniques. We never use glues, cheap lightweight settings, or plated metals. Comfortable and wearable for active lifestyles and those who sleep in their earrings. Nickel free with the exception of 14k white gold.

How to choose a stud earring size:

3mm is a tiny stud earring perfect for cartilage and multiple piercings. 4mm is a dainty stud earring that also works well for cartilage piercings. 5mm is a good minimalist everyday stud earring size. 6mm is large, but still casual. 8mm are statement stud earrings with a bold look. Click through the product photos to see different sizes pictured with a US dime for scale.

What to know about gemstone jewelry:

Gems (yes, even lab created gems!) are individual pieces of nature's art with minor variations in pattern, color, size, and shape. Gem sizes can vary +/- .2mm. Often, large gems are darker than small ones. I do promise you'll be happy with them, and accept exchanges as well as special requests like "Prefer darker green over lighter" which I will do my best to match within my stock. Some gems are fragile and should not go in an ultrasonic or steam cleaner.

    Silver Issues

    Published by Eric Landis on Jul 21st 2018

    Lovely pair of earrings. After a day of wearing them. The metal turned color. I have emailed the shop about this but did not receive a reply to fix the problem. I had ordered the sterling silver earrings.

    6mm Lab grown Alexandrite earrings

    Published by Kenneth Cooke on Jul 10th 2018

    These studs are beautiful. At first, given the price, I thought these might be inferior quality to what could be obtained elsewhere. I've seen 1 carat Chatham lab grown alexandrites for about 500 per carat so I was skeptical. When I got them I was pleasantly surprised, they do actually change from green to reddish purple. My local jeweler said that these would have cost about 500 dollars if I had bought them from him. Color change me impressed!

    Graduation Gift

    Published by Shannon Newsome on May 18th 2018

    Beautiful! I purchased these as a graduation gift for my daughter. They are nicely packaged also, but they are sealed inside of a small plastic bag inside of the box. If giving as a gift you may want to open it and place them inside in the jewelry box for a nicer presentation.
