Spinel

At Joyaux™ Genève, we proudly offer a stunning collection of natural spinel, celebrated for its dazzling array of colors and unmatched brilliance. Spinel, with its enchanting hues ranging from vivid reds and romantic pinks to mesmerizing blues and regal blacks, has become a beloved choice among jewelry connoisseurs and gem collectors alike. Our spinels, sourced from the finest mines in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Tanzania, are meticulously curated to ensure only the highest quality stones are available to our discerning clients.

Spinel's allure is not only in its breathtaking beauty but also in its rich history and the fascinating stories that accompany it. Historically, spinel has often been mistaken for other precious gems, most famously the “Black Prince’s Ruby,” a magnificent red spinel set in the British Imperial State Crown. This gem’s vibrant color and exceptional clarity made it indistinguishable from rubies to early gemologists, leading to its inclusion in many royal collections as a ruby.

One of the most captivating tales of spinel involves the legendary “Timur Ruby,” a 361-carat red spinel that was part of the treasures of the Mughal Emperors of India. This magnificent gemstone, steeped in the history of the Mughal Empire, was believed to be imbued with the power to protect and inspire its wearer. It symbolized the strength and grandeur of the emperors who possessed it and was eventually gifted to Queen Victoria, where it became a cherished part of the British Crown Jewels.

Spinel’s vibrant history continues into modern times. In recent years, the gemstone has been embraced by leading jewelry houses such as Cartier, Tiffany, and Van Cleef & Arpels. Designers are drawn to spinel’s versatility and its ability to enhance both contemporary and classic jewelry designs. Particularly, the stunning pink spinel has gained popularity as a unique and cherished choice for engagement rings, symbolizing love and commitment with its delicate yet vivid hue.

Spinel is part of the prestigious group of gemstones, celebrated for its exceptional hardness, rated at 8 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for daily wear in all types of jewelry. Its natural brilliance and high refractive index give it a dazzling sparkle that rivals that of diamonds, and its wide color range offers endless possibilities for unique and personalized jewelry pieces.

At Joyaux™ Genève, our commitment to quality ensures that each spinel is thoroughly examined by world-renowned gemological institutions such as GIA (Gemological Institute of America), SSEF (Swiss Gemmological Institute), and Gübelin Gem Lab.
