Grey is the wrong word for it. There's blue-violet running right through this stone, a green cast underneath it in places, and a violet flash at one end that only shows when the light hits square on. Two colours living in one crystal.
Natural blue-violet grey spinel — untreated, no heat, no enhancement.
Sourced in Burma, cut and polished in Thailand.
0.89ct · elongated cushion cut · eye-clean.
This is what an untouched stone looks like. Heated and treated gems are made to sit still on one colour; this one moves. Full daylight brings the blue-violet forward and lights the corner flash. Indoors it settles back into cool grey.
I chose this spinel myself in Bangkok — by hand, in daylight.
Untreated stones are never identical, so this colour won't come back.
The setting I can make again. The stone I can't.
Spinel is one of the most underrated gemstones in fine jewellery — rarer than sapphire in many colours, naturally vivid, and never treated.
14K / 585 white gold · four-claw solitaire setting on a slim polished band.
White gold and a cool stone run in the same tonal family — the spinel sits into the metal rather than fighting it.
Gold weight: 2.05g
Hallmarked by the London Assay Office — guaranteed purity, recognised worldwide.
Size: UK/AUS N | US/CANADA 6¾ | EU 54 | 17.3mm
