Alexandrite Jewelry by Tony Rodrigues

At Gemvara, we believe that the alexandrite jewelry you wear should be precious because it's personal. Every beautiful Gemvara design is made just for you, in your choice of gems and precious metals. Your child's birthstone in yellow gold. Your favorite gem in rose gold. Add your own meaning to every design, creating beautiful memories and brilliant reminders. It's jewelry for all life's occasions, from an anniversary or birthday to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Gemvara uses only the highest quality materials to craft your alexandrite jewelry with meticulous attention to detail. Our precious metals are recycled or responsibly mined. Our wide selection of alexandrite jewelry by Stephanie Satow, Gemvara Essentials, Tony Rodrigues, and other talented designers means you can find jewelry that's just your style. An eye-catching, gorgeous gemstone and a rare form of the gem chrysoberyl, alexandrite's discovery traces back to 1830 in Russia's Ural Mountains. Clean your alexandrite jewelry with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's fine quality alexandrite jewelry is designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Tony Rodrigues is a classically trained master goldsmith but his passion is jewelry design. In addition to jewelry, his distinguished design commissions include Olympic Gold Medals, a set of custom designed "Diablo" cufflinks for the head of Lamborghini, and a reliquary for a Vatican-certified piece of the cross of the crucifixion. Formerly the Midwest director of jewelry repair and design for Nordstom's, he is now the owner of his own design gallery. A master of line and proportion, Tony's designs often feature graceful, elegant curves that make them as feminine as they are modern for the woman who is both.

Known as the gem of good omens, it is said to strengthen the wearer's intuition, helping solve problems that seemed once unconquerable. When buying alexandrite, the most important element to consider is color, or more specifically, change in color. Gemvara's alexandrite stones will show a rich change from blue-green to purplish-red when brought from sunlight to artificial light. Cut and clarity also factor into value. The larger the carat weight, the more the alexandrite will cost per carat. Gemvara only sells premium, hand-selected alexandrite stones. It possesses a hardness of 8.5, and the more distinct the color change, the more valuable the stone. Alexandrite is the June birthstone and the 55th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality alexandrite stone will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvaras fine alexandrite jewelry is precious and personal, sure to be passed down for generations to come.
