Spinels are superb and historically important gemstones, particularly prized by Mughal emperors. The 6 carat unheated spinel in the centre of this antique ring showcases a beautiful, cool lavender shade. This stone is set in a beautiful early 20th century open work mount, set with early circular-cut and rose-cut diamonds in millegrain borders, with a beautiful scrolled gallery to the reverse that is curved to sit comfortably on the finger, making it perfect for everyday wear.
