Zandrite Color Change 8mm Round 1.75ct

Zandrite

Zandrite® is a stunning, man-made glass that is specially formulated by combining rare earth elements such as neodymium, lanthanum and cerium to create its dramatic color change and color shift properties. Many of these rare earth elements are responsible for the wide array of colors seen in some natural gems such as apatite and bastnaesite. It was only after many years of experimentation (and much trial and error) that Zandrite® came into being. As the purple-green color change variety mimics the appearance and phenomenal property of extremely rare and expensive alexandrite, late Jewelry Television Co-Founder Jerry Sisk selected the name Zandrite® to describe the 100% color change exhibited by the green-pink, blue-purple and blue-lavender color combinations. The cranberry-magenta color combination delights with its intriguing color shift property. Additionally, some color combinations, such as the blue-purple and cranberry varieties, boast strong magnetism due to their neodymium content. Acquired exclusively by and found only at JTV, explore the colorful world of Zandrit® today!

Zandrite Gemstone & Information

Gemopedia™

Zandrite™ is the brand name for a man-made stone that is highly photochromic. It is a chemically doped variety of glass, whose name is an allusion to alexandrite, an expensive naturally occurring color-change variety of chrysoberyl. Zandrite™ is specially formulated by combining rare earth elements (like Neodymium) to create a stunning color change property. A scientist was the first to create, then realize the potential of this stunning gem (completely by accident).

What is the Jewel Safe™ Protection Plan

Jewel Safe™ Protection Plan is a 2 year protection plan for jewelry, loose gemstones, and watches sold at JTV® and on JTV.com. Customer service is available 8 a.m. EST to 11 p.m. EST Monday thru Friday for your convenience. The Protection Plan begins on the date of order shipment and covers most damage from normal wear and tear, moisture damage for watches and includes a ring re-sizing for rings. Customers will never pay any out-of-pocket expenses, including shipping. Jewel Safe™ can be transferred to any new owner of the piece of jewelry or watch; Jewel Safe™ sticks with the product, not the purchaser. If your jewelry or watch cannot be repaired, it will be replaced with a check for the full purchase price, plus applicable taxes paid.
