**The Alexandrite Pricing Secret Most Jewelers Don't Want You to Know**
When a customer enters a jewelry store seeking high-quality natural alexandrite, here's what happens behind the scenes:
1. The salesperson smiles and says, "Let me check our inventory.”
2. They discreetly email us at The Alexandrite.
3. They acquire pieces from us at wholesale prices
4. They mark up the price significantly before showcasing it to you
After 19 years of experience in dealing with alexandrite, I want to disclose the hidden truths about jewelry pricing and why savvy buyers are turning directly to us.
**The Hidden Cost of Middlemen**
Traditional jewelry channels inflate prices at every stage:
- Mine → Cutter (adds 30-50%)
- Cutter → Dealer (adds another 40-60%)
- Dealer → Jeweler (adds 50-80%)
- Jeweler → You (adds 100-300% since they have to cover expensive rent, salary to salespeople, insurance, taxes, etc.)
Our direct-to-consumer approach eliminates unnecessary markups. That’s how we provide high-end alexandrites at prices that make retail jewelers gasp.
**Unmatched Quality Without the Retail Premium**
We sell at prices even local jewelers can't match because:
✓ No hefty retail overhead
✓ No commissioned salespeople
✓ No hidden fees (we even include GIA certification)
Since the shutdown of two alexandrite mines and the remaining mines nearing depletion:
• Prices have surged by 137% since 2020
• Stones over 1ct are now 10,000x more rare than flawless diamonds
• Our remaining pre-inflation stock is running out
This could be the last opportunity to own one of the world's rarest gemstones before:
➤ Our pre-inflation inventory is gone
➤ New stock reflects soaring market prices
➤ Inflation makes today's price impossible
