Mahenge Spinel Ring, Untreated, 8.26 Carats

A striking pear-shaped Mahenge spinel takes center stage in this elegant ring. The 8.26-carat stone displays a vivid pinkish-red hue with the neon-like saturation for which Mahenge spinels are so highly prized and is accompanied by its report from the AGL confirming the gem is entirely untreated. The center stone is complemented by a halo of white diamonds totaling approximately 2.30 carats, all set in 18K white gold.

Spinel is often referred to as the “imposter gem” of royal history, as, for centuries, it was repeatedly mistaken for rubies or sapphires. Primarily mined in Burma, Sri Lanka and Tanzania, spinels’ remarkable range of colors and exceptional brilliance has led to a surge in popularity.
