1.55ct Steel Blue Spinel — Solitaire Ring or Pendant — Made to Order
For centuries the most famous red stones in the world's crown jewels weren't rubies. They were spinels. This one isn't red — but that saturation at 1.55 carats is just as rare.
Steel blue spinel gets its color from iron substituting into a magnesium aluminum oxide lattice... The result here is a blue that sits between grey and blue — cool, slightly desaturated, with a faint violet flash in incandescent light. Not cornflower. Not cobalt. A rarer, quieter blue that rewards attention.
Untreated. No heat, no clarity enhancement. Cubic structure means no cleavage — durable for everyday wear.
Treatment: None — untreated
