Pearls are unique as they are the only gems from living sea creatures and require no faceting or polishing to reveal their natural beauty. In the early 1900s, the first successful commercial culturing of round saltwater pearls began. Since the 1920s, cultured pearls have almost completely replaced natural pearls in the market.

ALEXANDRITE - Enhances the Rebirth of Inner & Outer Self, Promotes Awareness
A relatively modern gem, Alexandrite, was first discovered in Russia in 1831 during the reign of its namesake, Czar Alexander II on his birthday, and is an extremely rare chrysoberyl with chameleon-like qualities. Its color is a lovely green in both daylight and fluorescent light; it changes color to a purplish red in incandescent light. Due to its rarity, some jewelers stock synthetic versions of this enchanting gemstone. Russian Alexandrite mines do not yield many gems these days, but it has been located in Brazil, Madagascar, and Zimbabwe. The Indian region of Orissa has fine Alexandrite but the crystals are generally in the half carat or smaller.
