ALEXANDRIT SIMULASI
Ada banyak sekali “simulan” di luar sana. Yang kami maksud dengan “simulant” adalah permata yang orang sebut Alex, but it is NOT an Alexandrite stone. Natural or Lab. This is important because simulants either don’t change color or change to the wrong color. Some are even the wrong color to begin with. Most simulated stones are also not nearly as durable. Due to Alex’s mystical lure, simulants have been made since the 1800’s! Jadi, when looking for an Alexandrite engagement ring, know that just because it’s antique, doesn’t mean it’s real. Always buy from a source that has actually tested and examined the stone.
