When was the last time you grabbed a hand that was wearing a diamond ring and exclaimed “what is that?”. Diamonds certainly have their place in engagement rings, but if you want a “wow” reaction consider an alexandrite. To me, alexandrite is the perfect metaphor for marriage and true love. It is extremley rare, and most people will never see it in their lifetime. Alexandrite changes colors depending on the light, and is valued much more than diamonds, sometimes over $20,000 a carat. Alexandrite is also June’s birthstone. It is referred to as “Emerald by day Ruby by night”. The Alexandrite ring pictured above is only $599.99. Just click on the picture above for more information.
