Synthetic Alexandrite Drop Earrings

Romantic and chic! These one-of-a-kind drop earrings feature engraved repurposed antique yellow gold bars. A filigree, polished head combines with four structural prongs to hold a lovely center stone of synthetic alexandrite. The prongs both secure and frame the stone, letting plenty of light to shine through. Synthetic alexandrite is a color-changing stone and will reflect shades of regal purple to a teal green-blue depending on the light that hits the stone.

This stone dates back to the 1950s when synthetic corundum was produced to imitate synthetic alexandrite. In the vintage and estate industry, these synthetic corundum (synthetic sapphire) gemstones from this period are almost always referred to as synthetic alexandrite even though they are chemically synthetic corundum. The chemical properties of this stone are synthetic corundum but the trade name is synthetic alexandrite.
