This magnificent dress ring features
a breathtaking Natural Unheated Spinel –
of impressive size 2.50ct (approx.) – 9.00 x 7.91 x 4.34mm,
of superb vivid intense deep crimson red colour –
with striking flashes of orange & eye-clean clarity
In certain light, flashes of scarlet and pomegranate ignite within the stone, giving it a vivid, almost liquid fire from within.
Its colour is rich and regal:
somewhere between the red of a royal seal and the last light of a winter sunset.

Burmese gemstones are considered the most valuable gems in the world,
often commanding the highest prices per carat in fine jewellery.
This splendid gem is cut in its most desirable Oval Cut
to capture the light, enhancing both its clarity and depth

Red spinel is among the most prized coloured gemstones,
historically mistaken for ruby and treasured by royal courts for centuries.
Its rarity is genuine: fine vivid red spinels are far less common
than many rubies, particularly in larger sizes and untreated stones with strong, pure colour.
Unlike many rubies, spinels are typically untreated,
which significantly increases their desirability and long-term value.
In recent years, collectors and investors have increasingly
turned to fine red spinel as prices for top rubies have soared,
positioning spinel as a strong investment gemstone with considerable appreciation potential.
As supply remains limited and global demand continues to grow,
exceptional red spinels are increasingly viewed as both a connoisseur’s gemstone and a portable store of value.
~
Fabulous & distinctive design & impeccable provenance
make this piece of jewellery a remarkable
one of a kind present (for yourself or your loved one),
which can also become your family's heirloom.
