Ahh so you're a June baby too?! I remember thinking that I hated pearls as a kid (I love them now) and I had no idea what alexandrite was. So I always wished I had been born in May or July instead! But nowadays, I'd say we have some pretty cool birthstones. Thanks for sharing your pretties!!
P.S. Where's the black kitty?
stands for Vicenza , Italy and the number stands for jewelry store where it was made. That's what I found on net. What do you think what are the chances the stone is natural.?
Looks like peridot to me.
Anyone knows about Italian jewelry? I am not sure if I posted this ring earlier. There are 2 markings: 925 and *2049 Vl. The last marking
My wife was born in December but you’d swear she’d been born in June with her love of Alexandrite!

like them all, l have some synthetics stones, Diaspore, synthetics color change sapphire, even some colour glass, but Alexandrite (l guess synthetics) was my first stone and is my birth stone. actually l didn"t know about Alexandrite, l learnt about it 3 year ago accidentaly and since then, l am enchanted.
I learnt about Alexandrite by accident, decades ago.
At an Antique centre housed in an old industrial building I bought what I thought was a sweet little amethyst charm on a fine gold bracelet. $60. After I’d finished paying I went outside into the sunshine to wait for my mother whose purchase were being packed up for her. I looked down and went “what?”. It was now a blue green colour. I went back inside and it was purple again. Back outside, blue green.
I actually thought it was like a “mood ring” stone. Remember those, they changed colour depending on the heat from your finger.
I’ve since reset it into a ring.
So it's sterling silver and made in Italy. I think it could definitely be natural peridot. Pretty!
I love amazonite!! Here is a set I purchased several years back. I have the matching ring around here somewhere. As I recall, the best material comes from Peru.
One more of my unidentified gems. Paid next to nothing, it reads on diamond tester ll, l guess it's not a glass. There are 2 markings: 925 and Agrx. It's light blue greenish , reminds me of Aquamarine, but would like to know your opinions. Thank you.
I was actually commenting to Bron357. I had read a post from years ago where she won a bid on boxes of rusted tins that ended up containing a huge amount of real gems! Along with the story about her accidentally purchasing an alexandrite, I figured she has some major manifesting mojo. I was hoping she would share the secret!
l don"t know which one stone is Synthetics. l mean one is maybe synthetics , but the rest are ok. now , l don"t know how to go back to Colored stones?
