One of the more underrated and lesser known fine gemstones, spinels have finally come into their own. And no wonder as there color range in surprising broad, their sparkle factor top notch and their durability close to that of a sapphire or ruby. In fact, they are more scarce than either!

In peony pink with very fine clarity, this cushion cut blushing spinel weighs 1.3 carats. It is bezel set in a touch of yellow gold and then surrounded by a bevy of brilliant cut diamonds in a halo of light.

Thirty diamonds for the ring, eighteen surround the gemstones with the many more trailing down the sides. In 14k white gold, the mounting is sleek and chic. Two diamonds dot the under gallery for an extra special touch. A total of .65 carats of white shimmer (color H-I, clarity VS2-SI1) grace this ring.
