A NOTE FROM THE GIA LABORATORY READ AS FOLLOW:
"Since there is not enough natural Alexandrite to meet demand, various synthetics have appeared in the marketplace over the last few decades. Alexandrite has been synthesized by a number of different processes, including Czochralski, floating zone, and flux. Also, synthetic corundum with color-change is often used to imitate natural Alexandrite. On rare occasions, synthetic color-change Spinel may be encountered in the market".
THE EARRINGS DO NOT HAVE ANY STAMPING OR HALL MARK BUT ARE TESTED 18 Karat. THIS PAIR HAVE A WEIGHT OF 7.8 GRAMS AND HAVE A MEASURE OF 15 MM WIDTH AND 50 MM LENGTH.
