Elegant, rare, and irresistibly refined, Purple Spinel is a gemstone that perfectly balances depth and luminosity. With hues ranging from lilac and violet to deep plum and royal purple, this remarkable gem captivates with a glow that rivals even fine sapphire. Its exceptional brilliance and clarity—paired with impressive durability—make it one of the most cherished gems in modern fine jewelry.
Once mistaken for sapphire and ruby for centuries, Spinel has since earned its rightful place as a distinct and highly prized gemstone species. The purple variety, in particular, owes its alluring color to trace elements of chromium and iron, resulting in a balance of cool and warm undertones that give the stone its regal sophistication.
Sourced from Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Tanzania, Purple Spinel is known for its superb transparency and lively sparkle. With a Mohs hardness of 8, it stands up beautifully to daily wear while maintaining its mirror-like polish and radiant fire. Expert faceting enhances its natural brilliance, producing gems that shimmer with vivid light even under soft illumination.
