When it comes to the extraordinary realm of colour change gemstones, few stones captivate the imagination quite like the colour change sapphire and the legendary alexandrite. These rare gems possess a magical ability to transform their hues under different lighting, offering a mesmerising dual personality that has fascinated gemstone lovers and collectors for centuries.
The defining charm of a colour change gemstone lies in its remarkable optical phenomenon: the gem appears to change colour depending on the light source. By day, it may shine with one vibrant tone, while by night, under incandescent or candlelight, it reveals an entirely different shade. This rare quality makes these gemstones not just jewels, but living, breathing works of art.
Among the most sought-after dual-colour gemstones is the colour change sapphire. Known primarily for their classic blue hues, sapphires with colour change properties display a spectrum of colours, often shifting from rich blue to violet, purple, or even greenish tones. This extraordinary transformation is a result of trace elements like vanadium within the crystal structure, creating a dynamic and captivating display.
At GIOIA Fine Jewellery, our selection of colour change sapphires is meticulously sourced, ensuring only the finest, untreated stones that exhibit vivid and dramatic colour shifts. These sapphires represent a perfect balance of rarity, beauty, and durability — ideal for bespoke jewellery that speaks of timeless elegance.
No discussion of colour change gemstones would be complete without mentioning alexandrite — a gem so rare and legendary it has been called “emerald by day, ruby by night.” First discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the 1830s, alexandrite’s colour change is arguably the most striking of all, shifting from lush green under daylight to a fiery red or purplish-red in incandescent light.
This gem’s rarity is unparalleled. Genuine alexandrite is incredibly scarce, making it a prized possession for collectors and connoisseurs. At GIOIA, we understand the historical significance and unique allure of alexandrite, carefully selecting only top-tier stones that display the sharpest and most vivid colour change effects.
