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.

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.
