It's jewelry for all life's occasions, from a wedding or holiday to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Our brilliant graduation gift ideas will mark this milestone with something she can treasure forever. 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. When lit by candles, lamps, and other incandescent lights, alexandrite takes on a vivid red, violet, or purple hue. Our wide selection of alexandrite jewelry by Judy Evans, Tony Rodrigues, David West, and other talented designers means you can find jewelry that's exactly your style. You can also shop by style, choosing our Religious, Organica, or Claddagh 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.
