AMARANTH TREASURE
A three-stone ring centred on a 2.52 carat purplish pink spinel, flanked by two VVS2, F-colour trapezoid diamonds. All three stones are step-cut, creating a harmonious symmetry in both form and the way light moves through them. The cool brilliance of the diamonds draws out the depth of the spinel in a contrast that is both precise and quietly dramatic.
A spinel of this colour and clarity is rare. This is a piece made to be noticed.
950 Platinum. Purplish Pink Spinel. VVS2 F-Colour Diamonds. No Heat or Treatment. GIA Certified.

About Spinel
Spinel is one of the most underappreciated gemstones in the world, and among collectors, that is precisely what makes it so desirable.
For centuries, the finest red spinels were mistaken for rubies. The Black Prince's Ruby, one of the most famous gemstones in the British Crown Jewels, is in fact a spinel. It was only in the late 18th century that science caught up with what the stone actually was.
Spinel forms in a wide range of colours, from intense reds and vivid pinks to deep blues, grays and violets. It occurs naturally without the heat treatment that is standard practice for sapphires and rubies, meaning a no-heat spinel is genuinely rare and genuinely natural. What you see in the stone is what the earth made.
The finest specimens come from Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Vietnam. Mahenge spinels from Tanzania are particularly prized for their intense neon pink, while Ceylon spinels from Sri Lanka are known for their soft, complex violets and blues.
For those who know gemstones, spinel needs no introduction. For those who are discovering it for the first time, consider the ones we offer.
