While this is the leading event in the United States serving the fine jewelry market, we also find it to be a forum where industry professionals gather to showcase the latest creations, introduce new products, and network together.

In addition to purchasing the latest designs & gemstones for our store, we also serve as a broker for some of our customers, finding the perfect diamond or gemstone for them. This can be your decision to choose the size, shape, and variety of gemstone you wish--not just accept what is available on the current market. It's the journey of your special gemstone--from the earth, to the cutter, to you--no previous owner or stops along the way.

Gemstones that display a phenomenon such as a color change, are sure to mystify and fascinate you or a loved one. Select from a variety of phenomenal gems such as Alexandrite and Color Changing Garnet.

The most sensational feature about Alexandrite, is its surprising ability to change its color. Green or bluish-green in daylight, alexandrite turns a soft shade of red, purplish-red or raspberry red in incandescent light. This unique optical characteristic makes it one of the most valuable gemstones of all, especially in fine qualities.

Alexandrite is very scarce: this is due to its chemical composition. It is basically a chrysoberyl, a mineral consisting of colorless or yellow transparent chrysoberyl, chrysoberyl cat’s eye and color-changing alexandrite (also in cat’s eye varieties). It differs from other chrysoberyls in that it not only contains iron and titanium, but also chromium as a major impurity. And it is this very element which accounts for the spectacular color change. Rarely, vanadium may also play a part.

Alexandrite is a stone for experts, enthusiasts and connoisseurs, a true understatement stone. Its uniqueness and high value are not evident at first sight. The mysterious color change will only occur on exposure to different light sources. But if you really get involved in alexandrite, you will be utterly fascinated by this gem. Maybe you will also feel some of the mysterious magic and lore ascribed to it. It is considered a stone of very good omen. In critical situations it is supposed to strengthen the wearer’s intuition, and thus help him or her find new ways forward in situations where logic will not provide an answer. Alexandrite is also reputed to aid creativity and inspire imagination.
