I LOVE Alexandrite! I have seen pieces that they have put it in, like yours, that changes color, but I don't have one. I do have an Alexandrite ring though. I wear it as my wedding ring and I just love love love the color change. Mine changes from purple, pink, aqua, green, blue, to yellow-ish brown. It's about 6 carats so you can really see the colors well.
