Spinel

For centuries, the finest red spinels sat in royal collections mistaken for rubies – and the confusion is understandable. Red spinel delivers the same bold, saturated color with exceptional brilliance. But unlike ruby, it’s rarely treated. Bright and attention-grabbing even in small sizes, and hard enough to wear daily without a second thought. The gem world is slowly catching up to what collectors have known for a while: fine red spinel is the real thing.
