Discover the Enchantment of Alexandrite: A Gem of Many Colours
At GIOIA Fine Jewellery, we’re captivated by the extraordinary allure of the Alexandrite gemstone. Known for its mesmerizing colour-changing phenomenon, Alexandrite is a gem that holds a secret beauty.
Emerald by Day, Ruby by Night
Alexandrite’s unique ability to change colour under different lighting conditions is nothing short of magical. In daylight, it exhibits a stunning bluish-green hue, reminiscent of the finest emerald. As the light dims to artificial or candlelight, it transforms dramatically, revealing a rich, pinkish-red tone akin to a ruby’s warmth. This remarkable shift has fittingly earned it the moniker, ’emerald by day, ruby by night.’
A Rare Member of the Chrysoberyl Family
Belonging to the esteemed chrysoberyl variety, Alexandrite stands out with its distinct characteristics. Its rarity is paralleled only by gems like the Brazilian Paraiba Tourmaline, making it a treasure for collectors and gem enthusiasts alike.
A Rarity in the Gem World
The rarity of Alexandrite cannot be overstated. Its limited availability adds to its allure, making it a sought-after gemstone for those who seek the unique and extraordinary in fine jewellery.
At GIOIA, we celebrate the rare and the beautiful. Alexandrite, with its captivating colour change and exclusive status, is a perfect embodiment of our commitment to exceptional and bespoke jewellery pieces. Whether set as a centrepiece in an engagement ring or a statement piece in a necklace, Alexandrite is sure to enchant and mesmerize.
