Spinel Gemstones – Natural Beauty in Every Color

A Gemstone with a Royal Past

Spinel has long been mistaken for ruby, adorning the crowns of monarchs across Asia and Europe. Today, it stands proudly on its own—loved for its remarkable brilliance, vibrant hues, and exceptional hardness.

A Spectrum of Natural Colors

Unlike many gemstones, spinel occurs in a breathtaking range of natural colors—red, pink, violet, purple, blue, grey, and even white. Whether you're seeking a vivid engagement stone or a collector’s gem, spinel offers unique personality with every hue.

Why Choose Natural Spinel?

Most spinels on the market are untreated, making them a purist’s dream. They’re also durable (hardness 8), making them ideal for daily wear or custom jewelry that lasts generations.

August Birthstone & Gemstone Guide

Spinel was officially added as a birthstone for August in 2016. It's an excellent alternative to peridot, offering a more refined look.
