For the chameleon in your life, the alexandrite gemstone has color-changing properties that give it a magical effect of displaying green in natural sunlight and red in interior light.
Moonstones have a special property called adularescence: the effect when light appears to billow across a gem giving it a unique glow – like a full moon on a clear night. Moonstones range from opaque to transparent, but the finest have a glass-like quality with a vibrant blue shimmer.
Pearls are examples of nature’s beautiful magic, formed when a mollusk slowly covers tiny grit in its shell with lustrous layers. Learn more about pearl quality factors in our comprehensive Pearl Buying Guide.
