Estate Natural Alexandrite Pendant in Platinum

Few alexandrites make their way into pendants; most clients want to see the color change, so they wear them in rings. However, occasionally, we see an alexandrite pendant. This is the perfect item to match an existing alexandrite ring or for someone who wants to wear a cherished June birthstone close to their heart. This gem is ideal for this setting, as it has a large presence and features easily visible color changes from teal to purple, depending on the lighting. Under most conditions, the gem has a greenish-blue hue with excellent luster, which effectively hides the few hard-to-see inclusions within the gemstone. It is set into a vintage-inspired diamond-shaped platinum frame with milgrain detail work and three diamond accents above the gem. This piece has a mysterious background since it appears in as-new condition, with Japanese hallmarks and weights stamped on the setting; thus, it is an estate bargain for the next owner.
