Alexandrite - The Birthstone Gemstone for June

Alexandrite is the birthstone for June. And what a wonderful gemstone it is. It is positively magical because of its color change – from a green blue to a reddish purple. It’s truly a twofer – because of the color change, it’s like you are getting two gemstones for the price of one. And because of its hardness, 8.5 on the Mohs scale, it is wonderful in a piece of jewelry you can wear every day.

Alexandrite is a wonderful unique gemstone not only for those born in June but for an engagement or wedding ring for those getting married in June or in any month for that matter. In sizes under one carat, it is surprisingly affordable. Check out our selection of genuine alexandrite rings. We carry alexandrite in band rings that could be perfect as a wedding band and solitaire alexandrites in traditional engagement ring settings or combine an alexandrite band ring with and an alexandrite engagement ring for an unbelievable knockout wedding set.
