Help with buying the right alexandrite for me

[Bron357]

I thought I should show you the photos of my Alexandrite bracelet. Both the Vendor ones taken at the “correct wavelength to mimic daylight and incandescent“ and mine.
The daylight colour is true to life.
The incandescent colour, I can’t replicate, I only have 1 incandescent light in the house (the bathroom!) and with a candle, geez, my eyes are too old for low candle light!
The point I’m making is that photos and real life, where you live what time of year, they affect what you will see.
Its all very nice having photos demonstrating colours at the “right wavelength” but if your real life light is different, you won’t be seeing it!

That is absolutely gorgeous!! The daytime color is amazing and just like the photo. I have an incandescent light in the kitchen. My house is filled with mixed light also. Thank you for sharing.

@Bron357 btw I'll never get tired of seeing this bracelet and remembering what a great find it was. Please continue to post it whenever you can! It brings me such joy.

It seems a little odd to me that such high end jewelry is using SI accent diamonds. Why wouldn't you use VS in such an expensive piece?

I wouldn't be willing to buy an Alexandrite without a lab report, even for a smaller one like this.
