The gemstones in these statement earrings change from purple to teal blue depending on the light! The synthetic alexandrite looks dramatic against the bright warmth of the gold, and the tapered bars create an elegant silhouette when worn. Lever back findings keep these earrings comfortable and secure.
This stone dates back to the 1950s when synthetic corundum was produced to imitate synthetic alexandrite. In the vintage and estate industry, these synthetic corundum (synthetic sapphire) gemstones from this period are almost always referred to as synthetic alexandrite even though they are chemically synthetic corundum. The chemical properties of this stone are synthetic corundum but the trade name is synthetic alexandrite.
