Lab Grown Alexandrite : Colour Changing Wonder

Jewellers affectionately call alexandrite an “emerald by day and ruby by night” because of how it changes colour in different light conditions. With a bright lustre and incredibly rare colour-changing properties, alexandrite is one of the most desired and valuable gemstones on the planet. 

But, you already know getting your hands on high-quality alexandrite is difficult. 

Natural stones are harder and harder to come by, and the lab-grown market is just as difficult to navigate with resellers and manufacturers flooding the market with stones that vary in grade, quality and price. 

If you get stuck with lab-grown alexandrite that isn’t the right colour or does not provide your desired colour change, you can’t bring your designs to life. Worse, poor-quality stones with pits and blemishes can completely discredit the reputation you worked so hard to build. 

So if you want reliable access to top-quality alexandrite and to lead the market with luxury, sustainable jewellery, you’re going to want to learn about how BIRON®’s lab-grown stones can transform your business.

Upon first glance of a BIRON® lab-grown alexandrite stone, all you will notice is its vitreous lustre. 

But behind that stone is a laboratory that uses the natural mineral chrysoberyl to replicate the exact same chemical composition of a natural alexandrite stone. 

Your current customers will love gaining access to such high-quality, sustainable alexandrite.

And you can now attract new customers who increasingly value ethically sourced and sustainable gems. 

Available in teal, greenish-blue, or bulish-green under natural daylight that changes to purplish-red or red under incandescent light, our alexandrite boasts little to no inclusion while maintaining its colour-changing ability.

Backed by 35-years of experience in gemstones sourcing, we are trusted by clients all over the world for both our gemstone and business integrity — inspecting each and every stone before delivery so that you can stay true to your art and fulfil your orders.

Take a look here at this custom-designed alexandrite ring by the talented Italian jewellery designer Franco Anzelmo.  

Specially made for a client who wanted to combine ethically sourced and sustainable alexandrite with Franco Anzelmo’s superb design and Italian craftsmanship, the ring brings together the modernity of lab-grown gems with the heritage of the designer’s artisanship.     

Using three BIRON® alexandrite stones — two 7mm the other 9x7mm — the ring also incorporates the initials “A”, “S” and “K” for the owner. Look closely and the “K” can also be interpreted as the simplified Chinese character 张, the owner’s surname. 

A truly unique and special piece, this ring was brought to life by craftsmen who could make this on-demand thanks to our high-quality, reliable sourcing of alexandrite.
