This delicate and stunning pendant necklace features a lovely pear-shaped alexandrite as its centerpiece. This unique gemstone is dark purple with flashes of blue, red, and green, and it is accented above by a tiny, sparkling diamond. The 18-inch 14k white gold chain adds more sparkle and complements the delicate, simple style of the pendant. The alexandrite measures approximately 7mm in length.

Alexandrite is a rare gemstone known for its remarkable color-changing properties, shifting from green to purple to red under various lighting conditions. Discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the 1830s, it was named after Czar Alexander II. Lab-grown alexandrites such as this one replicate the chemical and physical properties of natural alexandrite, offering a more accessible and often more flawless alternative.
