Does created alexandrite do the same thing as genuine alexandrite?

I'm thinking about buying a ring with a created alexandrite in it since alexandrite is my birthstone, but I want to know if it changes color under different lights like a genuine alexandrite does.
Haha, so I just add that I do have a real alexandrite, so I know that its natural color is purple and that it turns blue or gray under certain lights. I just wanna know if created ones do the same.

The change of color is based on the "cut" and light reflection and refraction principles and the actual individual stone itself.

Alexandrite is a variety of chrysoberyl which changes color in different lights due to its unusual absorption. Green in daylight and wine-red in most artificial lights, but the color changes will vary in different stones.
..
There is definitely a difference of course, as it is not easy to duplicate the light changes of the natural stone.

Also a real alexandrite is quite rare and expensive.
