This trillion-cut purple spinel stands out for its soft purple hue and striking brilliance. What sets spinels apart from many other purple gemstones is that they form with their clarity and vibrant colour naturally, without the need for treatments such as dye, heat and radiation after extraction. A large amount of spinels are found in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Tanzania.

Spinel is the birthstone for August and a traditional gift for 22nd wedding anniversaries.
