Gemvara uses only the highest quality materials to craft your alexandrite antique-inspired jewelry with meticulous attention to detail. Our precious metals are recycled or responsibly mined. Our wide selection of alexandrite antique-inspired jewelry by Tony Rodrigues, Damon Washington, Ji Hwang, and other talented designers means you can find jewelry that's just your style. Because antique jewelry is used, it may not fit you or your modern lifestyle. Gemvara's antique inspired collection has the look you love with modern wearability and craftsmanship. The purest forms of alexandrite possess beautiful color-changing properties varying with different sources of light. In daylight, the stone turns shades of emerald and sea green. Clean your alexandrite antique-inspired jewelry with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's fine quality alexandrite antique-inspired jewelry is designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

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.
