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 Fashion Necklaces
Fashion necklaces are trend-driven designs that emphasize style innovation over heritage construction — often featuring distinctive shapes, contemporary geometric elements, mixed-media construction, or signature designer detailing. Every fashion piece at ATL Luxury Jewelers is still hand-finished and crafted in solid precious metal (not plated alloys) so the design holds up to long-term wear.
