1.58 cts Spinel

This 1.58-carat pink spinel is entirely untreated — its colour, brilliance, and clarity are wholly natural. No heat, no filling, no enhancement of any kind has been applied. This is a significant mark of quality, as untreated spinels are increasingly rare and far more valued by collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Absolutely. Spinel registers a Mohs hardness of 8, placing it among the most resilient gemstones available. This makes it an excellent choice for rings, pendants, and earrings intended for regular wear. Its exceptional toughness, combined with its natural brilliance, means this stone will endure beautifully across generations.

The classic oval cut and soft pink hue of this 7 x 6 mm stone make it remarkably versatile. It sits beautifully as a solitaire in a ring or pendant, and pairs elegantly with both warm tones like yellow gold and cooler settings such as white gold or platinum. Whether the design is vintage-inspired or sleekly contemporary, this spinel brings a refined, feminine warmth to any piece.

For centuries, spinel was mistaken for ruby — many of history’s most celebrated “rubies” are, in fact, spinels. Today, gem enthusiasts prize spinel precisely for its rarity, its unassisted natural colour, and its exceptional brilliance that rivals even the finest rubies and sapphires. Fine pink spinels in particular are increasingly scarce, making a natural, untreated example such as this one a genuinely meaningful acquisition.
