			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The birthday is rapidly becoming the second most important shopping time of the year after Christmas. In today’s economy it is getting more and more difficult to justify the expense in a fine crafted piece of jewelry for anything less than an engagement or marriage though.</p>
<p>This problem with finding a perfect gift to fit inside of a limited budget has been made a little bit easier by the availability of high quality lab created gems.  When you first heard of a lab created gem it was probably the cubic zirconia. This fine looking stone is a welcome price reduced alternative to the naturally mined diamond. The Cubic zirconia is not the only lab created gem available though. Many of the birthstones that you see have a replacement that is much more affordable and doesn’t disappoint in appearance.</p>
<p>The traditional June birthstone <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/alexandrite_round.htm">Alexandrite</a> now has a lab created partner that allows consumers to grab a good looking piece of jewelry at a much more affordable price. There is also the <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/blue_sapphire_round.htm">cubic zirconia sapphire</a> that can make a perfect gift for the month of September. May would be the perfect time to get a ring or other piece of jewelry with a lab created emerald for updating the spring and summer wardrobe.</p>
<p>While you are out shopping for affordable and attractive jewelry you can’t forget about the lab gem that started it all &#8211; the cubic zirconia. In addition to its place as a birthstone the diamond has symbolized commitment for as long as anyone can remember. There are many who have been happy to receive a flawless CZ stone in an engagement ring or as an anniversary gift and your special person will be sure to appreciate one too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Though the Pearl is often worn as the birthstone for the month of June, the traditional birthstone is Alexandrite but seeing an Alexandrite ring, pendant or set of earrings is a pretty rare occurrence because the naturally mined gem is very hard to come by.</p>
<p>Though natural Alexandrite is incredibly beautiful and makes for a wonderful piece of jewelry in just about any setting, its scarcity makes it not only difficult to find, but very expensive to purchase.</p>
<p>Pearl is certainly more readily available than natural Alexandrite, but even pearl earrings and necklaces can cost more than some people have available for their accessories.  There is good news for you if you want to wear the traditional June birthstone though, you can do it with lab created Alexandrite.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pehnec.com/alexandrite_round.htm">Lab created Alexandrite</a>, like cubic zirconia and virtually all other lab created gems, rivals the beauty of its naturally mined counterpart so closely that the two would be difficult to tell apart if you weren’t a trained gem professional.  There is absolutely no issue in terms of supply and demand with <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/alexandrite_round.htm">lab created Alexandrite</a>, so regardless of the time of year you wish to purchase, the size of the stone that you are looking for or the setting you most desire – the price will always be low because lab created gems are always readily available.</p>
<p>Lab gems give everyone, regardless of personal finances, the ability to wear beautiful, durable and high quality pieces of jewelry that will turn heads and make them feel special or glamorous.  Whether your taste has you loving diamonds, rubies or something as rare and expensive as Alexandrite, there is an affordable alternative for you with a lab created gem.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A variety of the mineral chrysoberyl, natural alexandrite is a chameleon gem, changing color with the light. In bright daylight, alexandrite appears green, but turns a rich wine red under incandescent lighting. Chrysoberyl gets it usual yellow to yellow-green color from the presence of iron. It is the presence of chromium in the chemical mix that creates the distinctive color change that makes natural alexandrite such a rare and unique gem. <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/alexandrite_marquise.htm" target="_blank">Simulated alexandrite</a> is created in the more desirable wine red color. Unlike most lab created gems that exhibit the same chemical structures as their natural counterparts, simulated alexandrite can be created from a number of natural or man-made compositions. The loose <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/alexandrite_round.htm" target="_blank">lab alexandrite</a> sold by lab gem wholesaler <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/catalog.htm" target="_blank">PehnecGems</a> is created from corundum.</p>
<p>Alexandrite was first discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia in April 1834 on the day the country&#8217;s Crown Prince, Alexander II, came of age. The unusual gem, which mimics the imperial colors of green and red, was named in honor of the young czar and became the national gemstone of Imperial Russia. Quite rare in nature, alexandrite was little used in jewelry over the centuries because of its extreme rarity. In czarist Russia, its use was reserved for royal jewelry and adornments. The ability to <a href="http://www.pehnec.com/alexandrite_square.htm" target="_blank">simulate alexandrite</a> in the laboratory has allowed jewelers and artisans around the world to have the opportunity to use this rich wine red-colored gem in their designs.</p>
<p>In the late 1800s Tiffany master gemologist George Kunz recognized the unique properties of alexandrite and was able to obtain a quantity of the gem. Tiffany&#8217;s jewelers were among the few outside Imperial Russia to fashion alexandrite into jewelry. From the late 1800s into the early 1900s, Tiffany created a series of rings and platinum ensemble settings that featured natural alexandrite. Alexandrite also found its way into Victorian jewelry created in England, but stones used in those pieces were quite small. It was not until the development of lab created alexandrite that this beautiful stone became a jewelry staple.</p>
