Our alexandrite is lab-grown, created in laboratory conditions rather than mined, and shares the same optical and physical properties as natural alexandrite, including the signature color-change. The difference is rarity: fine natural alexandrite is among the world's rarest gemstones, so this lab-grown gemstone offers the same effect at a more attainable price.
Alexandrite reads blue-green teal in daylight and fluorescent light, then shifts to rich violet-purple under warm incandescent light such as a lamp or candlelight. This light-driven shift, famous as the alexandrite effect, means a single pair of earrings can offer two distinct looks depending on where you wear them.
The color-change is an inherent optical property of the gemstone itself — not a surface treatment or finish — so it stays just as vivid for years to come with proper care per the care instructions provided.
