Padparadscha Sapphire-Colored No-Heat Spinel Ring

About the Item

An approximately 2.81 carat oval-cut spinel the color of the finest Padparadscha sapphire is held aloft within the prongs of a formal coronet setting in this rare and magnificent Danish Modern silver ring dating to the 1970s. Nearly as hard and durable as sapphire, Spinel is the ideal gemstone for a ring and the color of this spinel is simply spectacular. Spinel has more "fire" than sapphire which is why I prefer it to sapphire. This padparadscha sapphire-colored spinel is gorgeous, and unlike padparadscha sapphires, the majority of which are heated, this spinel is unheated and untreated in any way as the certificate it ships with clearly states. This is the perfect engagement ring even when that engagement is just for lunch. As a right-hand ring or stacked with other rings, this Danish Modern solitaire provides a splash of beautifully unique color and sparkle. Although the ring has no hallmarks, it was purchased from a collector in Denmark, and in design exemplifies the Danish Modern style. The size 5.5 ring can be resized by your local jeweler. Spinel gemstones have been owned by royal families for centuries, but they were always assumed to be rubies. It was only in the 1800s that mineralogists differentiated spinel and ruby. Spinel comes in a range of colors, just like sapphire, to add to the confusion. For many years Spinel was considered among the most under-valued gems. But this is now changing quite swiftly. A gorgeous and unique handmade ring with a bright, brilliant and fascinating gem.

    Located in Southbury, CT
    A cushion-shaped, mixed-cut, eye-clean 4.04 unheated royal blue sapphire from Madagascar is the discussion here. The included AGL "Prestige Gemstone Report" concludes that the sapphire has an origin of Madagascar, no "clarity enhancement," and no indications of heating. For many, this Royal blue is the ideal tone for a sapphire. It is the same regal blue seen on the finger of the Princess of Wales. Unheated sapphires with an interior as clean as this stone, and with such a fine, even tone are exceedingly rare and highly valuable. As I write these words in the early days of 2024, A heated sapphire of 4.09 carats with a Sri Lanka origin is currently being offered for sale at a natural sapphire company...
