Understanding This Piece
About Alexandrite
Alexandrite is famous for its dramatic color change — green or blue-green in daylight, shifting to purplish-red under incandescent light. The effect comes from rare chromium content and only occurs in specific deposits in Russia, Brazil, and East Africa. Alexandrite scores 8.5 on Mohs (excellent durability) and is the June birthstone (alongside pearl) and 55th-anniversary gem. Fine-quality alexandrite is among the most valuable colored gemstones, often exceeding ruby and sapphire per carat.
About 14K Yellow Gold
14K yellow gold is 58.3% pure gold blended with copper and silver — the most popular fine-jewelry karat in the US for good reason. It delivers a rich, recognizably warm yellow tone while remaining hard enough for daily wear, holding diamonds and gemstones securely without wearing thin. 14K resizes cleanly and refinishes easily, and it carries strong heirloom value. For most clients balancing color depth, durability, and price, 14K yellow is the right answer.
About Chain-Link Bracelets
A chain-link bracelet drapes flexibly on the wrist via interconnected metal links — curb, Figaro, rope, anchor, Cuban, and box are the most common link patterns. The construction is durable, snag-resistant, and well-suited for daily wear. Chain-link bracelets work alone as everyday pieces or layered with watches, tennis bracelets, and bangles for a modern stacked look.
