This remarkable pair of Brazilian alexandrite earrings showcases the spellbinding beauty of the coveted color-changing gems. Two beautiful Brazilian alexandrites weighing 4.68 and 4.36 carats, respectively, are set in a classic and elegant drop design amongst a profusion of diamonds totaling approximately 7.00 carats. The alexandrites are each certified by the American Gemological Laboratories and the Gemological Institute of America as being completely untreated and displaying excellent and prominent color change, transforming from deep bluish green to reddish pink. Set in 18K white gold.

While the alexandrite was first discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the 1800s, many of the finest examples of these stones have been found in Brazil. For example, the 17.08-carat stone known as the Whitney alexandrite can be found in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, having been gifted to the National Gem Collection by Carolyn Wright Whitney. Like the present gemstones, the Whitney alexandrite changes from bluish-green in daylight and fluorescent light to an intense purple in incandescent light. A fantastic rarity, the color change exhibited in alexandrites continues to mystify and delight all who encounter these gems.
