1.3ct Lavender Spinel — Solitaire Ring or Pendant — Made to Order
Lavender is the rarest color direction in spinel, and one of the most undervalued.
This stone sits at the intersection of iron and chromium substitution in the spinel lattice — the same mineral species that makes rubies red and blue spinels blue, here producing a pale, lilac-toned lavender that reads differently in every light source. Daylight brings out the blue. Incandescent brings out the violet. A subtle color-shift behavior that most buyers won't know to look for until they see it happen on their finger.
The cut is a freeform egg — not calibrated to standard oval dimensions, which means the bezel for this stone is carved specifically to its shape. That's not a compromise; it's the point. The setting exists for this stone and no other. Untreated. Cubic crystal structure, no cleavage.
Treatment: None — untreated
