Spinel and diamond ring, 20th century. In recent years, spinel has experienced a surge in popularity, largely in part due to its beautiful array of colours, which can rival the best reds of rubies, the best blues of sapphires and everything in between. Perhaps the most distinctive and best-loved of this historic stone’s colours are its soft pinks and violets. This natural, unheated spinel weighing 3.09 carats is a lovely example of these beautiful floral shades, and sits within a border of brilliant-cut diamonds to form a very pretty, timeless cluster ring – perfect for an engagement.
Accompanied by GCS report no. 78158-76, stating that the spinel weighing 3.09 carats is natural, with no indications of heat treatment.
