Description

This round simulated alexandrite is made with lab-created corundum. Its color ranges from bluish-green to bluish-purple: some stones show more blue; some show more purple. Simulated alexandrite allows you to offer customers the color and characteristics of this gemstone at a lower price point. Use it to create a bold pendant, pair it with complementary-color cabs to create matched sets with earrings or bracelets, or use it to create more complex, multi-stone designs. Alexandrite is one of the birthstones for June.

Round-cut gemstones are highly popular and the most commonly available. Rio round gemstones are calibrated for size and hand inspected to ensure maximum attractiveness.
