From the French for 'a thousand grains', the tiny beads of a milgrain accent can add complexity and detail to a Alexandrite design, as well as create a vintage or antique look. Although a relatively new gem, alexandrite is said to bring pleasure and love. Wear a created alexandrite pendant to attract the man of your dreams. Garnets have ancient connections with feminine life force. A garnet pendant worn close to the heart is said to promote balance and peace of mind.
