Frequently Asked Questions
Why is untreated spinel considered more valuable than treated alternatives?
An untreated gemstone is nature’s work in its purest, unaltered form — no heat, no filling, no intervention of any kind. In the world of fine gemstones, this distinction carries significant weight, both in terms of rarity and long-term value. This particular spinel has arrived at its vivid pink colour entirely through geological circumstance, making it a more honest and enduring investment for the discerning collector.
Is a 1.57-carat oval spinel a practical choice for jewellery?
Absolutely. At 7.8 x 6.4 mm, this oval spinel has a gracious presence on the finger or in a pendant setting without overwhelming the piece. Spinel’s Mohs hardness of 8 also makes it exceptionally well-suited for everyday fine jewellery — it is resilient enough to accompany you through life’s moments without requiring the cautious handling that softer stones demand.
How does pink spinel differ from pink sapphire or pink tourmaline?
While pink sapphire and pink tourmaline are more widely known, spinel occupies a rare and historically distinguished position of its own. Its single-refractive optical structure gives it a particularly pure, clean brilliance — light passes through it in a way that feels almost effortless. Pink spinel also tends to display a vivid saturation without the slight greyish undertone sometimes seen in sapphire, giving it a warmth and immediacy that is entirely its own.
