Experience the extraordinary beauty of this ~1.54 ct (6 × 9 mm) Drop Cut lab-grown alexandrite, displaying a captivating purple-to-green colour change under different lighting conditions. This precision-cut gem combines exceptional brilliance with one of the world's most fascinating optical phenomena, revealing dramatically different colours depending on the light in which it is viewed.

Lab-grown alexandrite is real alexandrite. It possesses the same chemical composition (BeAl₂O₄), crystal structure, hardness, colour-change mechanism and optical properties as natural alexandrite. The only difference is its origin.

Every Gemdrop® gem is individually scientifically verified and permanently recorded within the Gemdrop Verification Database, providing complete transparency and confidence in exactly what you are purchasing.

A REAL ALEXANDRITE. CREATED THROUGH SCIENCE.

This gem was grown using the Czochralski crystal growth process, producing a high-quality single crystal of chromium-bearing chrysoberyl with exceptional clarity, colour consistency and optical performance.

The resulting crystal is genuine laboratory-grown alexandrite—not glass, cubic zirconia or colour-change corundum—and possesses the same physical, chemical and optical properties as natural alexandrite.

THE GEM THAT CHANGES WITH THE LIGHT.

Alexandrite is celebrated for its remarkable ability to display different colours under different lighting conditions. Under cool daylight this gem exhibits vibrant green tones, while under warm indoor or incandescent lighting it transforms into beautiful purple hues. This extraordinary phenomenon, known as the Alexandrite Effect, is one of the rarest and most remarkable optical properties found in any gem.

The Drop Cut combines graceful proportions with exceptional brilliance, beautifully showcasing the gem's dramatic colour-changing character. It is an elegant choice for pendants, earrings, rings and bespoke jewellery.

With a Mohs hardness of approximately 8.5, alexandrite offers excellent durability and is well suited to fine jewellery intended to be enjoyed for generations.
