I have an old ring with a emerald cut alexanderite and two small diamonds. How can i find out how much it's worth?
If it’s a genuine Alexandrite, depending on carat weight and strength of colour change, anywhere from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.
Genuine Alexandrite turns from a green/ blue colour in natural light to a purple/ red colour in incandescent light. There are other varieties of chrysoberyl that colour change as well as sapphire, garnet and fluorite.
Synthetic Alexandrite - usually a big, flawless pink to purple/blue colour change gem has been around for nearly 100 years
