The Spinel Collection
Spinel is a once-popular gemstone that’s making a dramatic comeback. Mined in gravel deposits in Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Madagascar, it’s found in lots of decadent shades including blue, green and black. For our collection we’ve chosen to use lavender, grey and blue Spinels - our favourite shades - offering a subtle gemstone alternative for some of our most popular designs.
