Some time ago I bought various rose-cute Black Spinels. The stones are untreated. Not one stone has the same size and shape, so every ring has its own charm and appearance. In one of the rings with Black Spinel I have added a black Zirconia in a flush setting. Unique and handmade!
Black Spinel
Black spinel is not well-known among the gem world, yet its outstanding features make it the ideal choice for an opaque black gem. These days, where most gems undergo routine enhancement treatments, black spinel can stand proud as a gem requiring nothing more than cutting and polishing to bring out its inner beauty.
There is also some mythology surrounding black spinel. It is believed to protect its owner from harm, to reconcile differences, and to console sadness. Black Spinels were often used in ancient jewelry, it was very populair at that time.
