Art Deco Alexandrite Jewelry | June Birthstone

This post includes one or more affiliate links. If you purchase something after clicking through, we may receive a small commission from the designer, retailer or shop (thanks!) More info here. 
Lucky June babies get their pick of beautiful birthstones, from luminous pearls to our previously featured art deco moonstone beauties. But today we’re going to spotlight the show-stopping loveliness of some art deco alexandrite jewelry. Alexandrite is a form of chrysoberyl, with a unique property: it changes color (or at least appears to) depending on the type and quality of the ambient light around it.

Alexandrite Color Change | Emerald by Day, Ruby by Night

 

Sometimes called “emerald by day, ruby by night,” this rare and beautiful gemstone flashes shades of red and green. Besides being one of the three June birthstones, it’s also the traditional stone of the 55th anniversary. Check out some of our favorite pieces of art deco alexandrite jewelry below!

First up, this weird and wonderful (synthetic) alexandrite ring, with classic deco detail in enamel all around.
