Product Description
Inspiration
Alexandrite is associated with balance, confidence, and joy. If your loved one brings you joy then our pale green Alexandrite Initial Necklace is ideal.
It has a remarkable ability to dramatically change colour in different lights. It can be green by daylight and red by incandescent light. With its ability to switch from one side of the colour spectrum to the other, Alexandrite symbolizes the extremes, and is said to imbue the wearer with the ability to find harmony among contrasting forces.
As a more modern gem of the gemstone world, Alexandrite is named for the former czar of Russia, Alexander II, and was first discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia. It was adopted as the national stone of Tsarist Russia, as the stone contained the two Tsarist colours, red and green.
Alexandrite Initial Necklace is hand engraved with a scrolled initial, and is embellished with a little ‘brilliant’ cut sparkly Alexandrite in a Victoriana star style setting. A special gift for a loved one in your life.

Your precious items deserve to be looked after to ensure they stay looking their best.
Here are some simple tips to keep your jewellery in good condition.
Check that fastenings are secure on necklaces and bracelets and that butterflies are tight on earrings.
A little tip is squeeze the two scrolls of your butterfly backs together to ensure they grip the post of your earring securely.
Take jewellery off before undressing to avoid catching it on clothes and pulling on any links or catches.
And I know it’s tempting to wear your jewellery in bed, while swimming, showering or at the gym but it should be avoided.
Always put your jewellery on after applying make-up and lovely scent as these elements will tarnish your jewellery.
When not wearing your jewellery, always keep each piece separately in your soft pouch so that it won’t scratch or be scratched by other pieces.
Love and care for your precious jewellery.
Packaging for your Jewellery


We love gift giving and the sentiment that goes along with it.
So we designed pretty vintage style packaging and gift cards inspired by gift-giving and the olden days. And had it all hand-made in Italy from recycled card.
We present your jewellery in a traditional box with a special suede pouch for you to keep your jewellery safe and sound.
Place the gorgeous note card of your choice on top and then hand-tie the box with grosgrain ribbon.
For loved ones. Forever.
