Spinel Jewellery

Spinel is a remarkable gemstone celebrated for its vivid colour range, exceptional brilliance and natural durability. Long admired for its beauty, spinel has gained increasing recognition in fine jewellery as a gemstone that combines elegance, strength and individuality.

At Clarindon Jewellers, we showcase spinel in expertly crafted jewellery designed to highlight its colour, clarity and timeless appeal.

What Is Spinel?

Spinel is a naturally occurring gemstone composed of magnesium aluminium oxide. Historically, spinel was often mistaken for ruby or sapphire due to its vibrant colours and brilliance. Today, spinel is recognised in its own right as a gemstone of exceptional beauty and value.

Natural spinel is prized for being untreated, with most stones displaying their colour naturally without enhancement.

The Colour & Appearance of Spinel

Spinel occurs in a wide range of colours, including red, pink, blue, purple, orange and black. Red spinel is particularly sought after, offering a rich, vibrant alternative to ruby, while blue and pink spinel are admired for their elegance and depth.

High-quality spinel displays excellent transparency and a lively sparkle.
