Question of the day - If you own alexandrite where did you buy it from? Online, Local store or somewhere else?

[buckyboy]

I bought my alexandrite online. It’s a lab-created stone set in a solitaire pendant and visually stunning. Most importantly, my wife loves it!

[fangcui]

Thank you for the very best information! I found this stone from a vintage shop and it fascinated me. You are absolutely right, it is very suitable for daily wear because most people don't know it.

[prettybird]

Thank you, this was very helpful and educational. I have been looking but not ready to buy because wasn't feeling confident. Now I am.

I hope you can tell me what you think:
My great aunt was working in Japan in the early 1950's. She bought hers from a man who flew a small plane around S-E Asia ( possibly she said it came from Burma )
... the man brought the gems to Japan to sell to the American ladies.
Would this tell you that it is a natural Alexandrite ?
It is water-clear, light blue- aqua to lavender-magenta.
I love it either way, as my mother wore it always.

I love this stone! I discovered it by searching for stones rearer than diamonds; I ended up buying a 0.8 crt one for my Fiancee's engagement ring. Then, I got her a pair of earrings to match the engagement ring. I found a jeweller online 'Certified Diamonds'. he is based in N.S.W. I'm in Vic. He sourced the stones and helped with the design of the ring; all this was done on the phone and over emails during covid.

I just brought another stone off him as an investment. It's 0.57 crt.
Other than the amazing colour change, I see value in Alaxandrite because, unlike diamonds, they don't lose value once you buy it.
This is a great video for people who have never heard of Alaxandrite best part when you said people won't know what it is, so true!

My piece was bought in chiro Egypt 35 years ago it is red with blue and green changes in the color also a brown color slightly when you shine a small light on it the color change is remarkable its like the piece comes to life

[ChastityFaye]

Hi Levon❤️ thank you for sharing this! I’d love to see some Alexandrite in person! I found you from the VRA academy🙏🏽

[Yearwoodful]

Thanks for the great info. From Belize

[Ophilia_Necr]

Just found your channel and subbed! Great video! My husband gave me his grandmothers 3stone ring, which she had custom made in the 60's. It has 2 blue topaz and a center 3mm round alexandrite. I originally thought it was amethyst, until i saw the teal blue in daylight. It made sense, since this was when alexandrite was considered the June birthstone. It's a lovely, dainty piece!!

[gavinalderman]

My alexandrite gemstone is a beautiful dark-ish teal blue in natural light but turns pinkish violet when exposed to artifical light or when I try to look at it through my phone camera. Bought it in a 10k white gold ring at a pawn shop in oregon USA. I'd very much like to believe it's alexandrite and not sapphire but I'll get it certified/report through GIA. So excited to find out!!

[adinamcmurray]

I inherited mine. It changes to three colors. The color change is instant. The stone is huge. I was told on a cruise, where they were selling Alexandrite's, by the "Alexandrite expert" that he would estimate it was worth over $250 K. I would love to sell it. But, I wouldn't know where to start.

Hi Jewelry Guy...
I have a color changing 8 ct. Old European Cushion Cut stone set in 18kt gold that I purchased from a small jewelery store. The owner sold it to me as an Amethyst...he was not aware it changed colors. Under the lighting in the store the stone looked dark purple... Outside the store it looked a turquoise green... In candlight it looks a ruby red color. I'm really not sure what I have. Is it an Alexandrite... Is it a color changing Sapphire or a Spinel or a Garnet. I may not be sure what it is but I am sure of what it's not and that's an Amethyst.

[matbananhuonganguyenkhoi]

I have an alexandrite stone that changes color very beautifully, can you help me? Is it a weightless gemstone of 3.12ct?

[RaquelZapata]

I recently inherited a gemstone from my aunt, which I believe may be an Alexandrite. The stone is purplish in color indoors, but it turns blue when I take it outside, and when I exposed it to a lighter, it turned red. It’s approximately 7 to 10 carats and seems to be quite old. I'm unsure how to determine if it's genuine and am confused because most of the information I’ve found mentions Alexandrites that change from green to red, rather than from purple to blue. Is there a type of Alexandrite that exhibits this kind of color change, and how can I verify the authenticity of this stone? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

[roseannecarratkinson]

My mom bought it for me when I was in my early teens. I thought it was my birthstone, Amethyst, but it always changed colors. It goes from blue to purple to pink. I'm not sure if it's an Alexandrite. I'm hoping to take it in next month to have it appraised.

[rickeylee]

I have inherited a large, (5-7 carat), alexandrite. I need to sell it, but, cant figure out how to sell a stone of this quality. Can you help me?

[AlvaSudden]

Considering their high price, lab-created or synthetic seems to be the way to go with alexandrite.

[MacyIntheMiddle]

I want to buy a lab alexandrite for a ring, will that come with a certificate as well? I just want to be sure I'm not getting color change sapphire or something else

[life_regeneratio]
