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.

Details
Your Alexandrite Initial Necklace is hand-made to order with care and love in London. Each piece is then hand-finished and hallmarked with the full traditional Hallmark comprising of five marks; my Maker’s Mark, Traditional Fineness (the metal), Millesimal Fineness (the purity of the metal), Assay Office and the Date Letter (the year) at the London Goldsmith’s Company Assay Office.

18ct Yellow Gold : (750 parts of Gold per thousand)
9ct Yellow Gold : (375 parts of Gold per thousand)

Yellow Gold is alloyed with copper and silver to strengthen it and give it longevity.
The shade of the Gold depends on the Gold content, therefore 18ct Yellow colour is richer in colour than the paler Yellow Gold.

Sterling Silver : 925 hallmarked Sterling Silver
Gold Vermeil : layer of 18ct Gold Plate of at least 2.5 microns over the top of Sterling Silver.

Gold Vermeil is a layer of 18ct Gold Plate that will eventually wear away over time
The speed of this wear is affected by elements such as being exposed to water, heat, chlorine, natural body oils, products and perfumes.

I know it’s tempting to wear your jewellery while swimming, showering or at the gym but it should be avoided.
And it’s best to put your jewellery on after applying your make-up and lovely scent.

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.
