Birthday Gift Ideas: Alexandrite Jewelry

At Gemvara, we believe that the jewelry you wear should be one of a kind, like you. That's why we make each piece to order, one at a time, just the way you want it. Choose fire opal and yellow gold or emerald and platinum: it's your choice. Mix and match gems and precious metals for a look that's exactly you. It's jewelry for all life's occasions, from a wedding or anniversary to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Celebrate her birthday with a brilliant gift of jewelry that she can enjoy all year long. Gemvara uses only the highest quality materials to craft your alexandrite jewelry design with meticulous attention to detail. Our precious metals are recycled or responsibly mined. Alexandrite was discovered on Alexander II's 16th birthday and was thusly named after the future Czar. Our wide selection of alexandrite jewelry by Paul Bierker, Danielle Meshorer, Jessica Behzad, and other talented designers means you can find jewelry that's exactly your style. You can also shop by style, choosing our Gemstone Halo, Family, or Streamlined Collections. Gemvara's fine quality alexandrite 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.
