Edwardian Alexandrite Tie Pin

95SS
920 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

An interesting tie pin set with an alexandrite. Alexandrite is the variety of chrysoberyl that displays a change of colour from green to red. A distinct colour change is the primary qualification for a chrysoberyl to be considered alexandrite. In the evening under incandescent light the stone is strongly tilted to the red end, thus causing alexandrite to appear reddish. Daylight, is more equally balanced, since our eyes are most sensitive to green light, the balance is tipped to the green side. All our tie pins come with a stopper at the end of the pin.
