Spinel
In the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, while the French Duke of Alençon struck Henry V of England on the head with his sword, the helmet with a 170 carat gem has saved Henry’s life. This miracle gem, which represents love and life, is named Spinel.
The name ‘spinel’ is aptly derived from the word ‘spinther’ which is Greek for ‘spark’, it denotes the superb brilliance of this gem. Significant deposits have been found in all around the world such as Myanmar (Burma), Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Vietnam, Tajikistan and Tanzania, while top-quality spinel remains in limited supply. Due to its similar aesthetic attributes, they have been mistakenly identified as rubies in the past such as the Black Prince’s Ruby set at the front of George V’s Imperial State Crown.
The 31.03 carat natural untreated Tanzanian vibrant pink spinel offered here emits a dreamy sparkle which exemplifying the wondrous sparkles gemstones could ever displayed.
