Graduation Gift Ideas: Alexandrite Necklaces

At Gemvara, we believe that the alexandrite necklaces you wear should be precious because they're personal. All our stylish necklaces are made just for you, in your choice of gems and precious metals. Add your own meaning to every design, creating beautiful memories and brilliant reminders. It's jewelry for all life's occasions, from a wedding or Valentine's Day to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Choose a graduation gift she'll treasure her whole life, capturing the memory of this moment in precious gems and metals. Pendants with symbolism, like circles, keys, hearts, initials, and knots are as personal as they are fashionable. Gemvara uses only the highest quality materials to craft our alexandrite necklaces with meticulous attention to detail. Our precious metals are recycled or responsibly mined. Our growing selection of alexandrite necklaces by Martha Gomez Gutierrez, Judy Evans, Randy Dixon, and other talented designers means you can find a necklace that's exactly your style. 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. All Gemvara pendants are available with your choice of chain style and length or no chain at all if that's what you prefer. The most popular chain length is 18 inches, which works with many necklines. Clean alexandrite necklaces with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's fine quality alexandrite necklaces are 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.
