Custom Platinum Ring with Blue-Violet Color Shift Spinel

This fabulous spinel ring would look at home on any finger- an engagement ring for a violet lover? Yes, please! Alternative August birthstone ring? Perfect! Just because? That, too! The centerpiece is a rare natural spinel from Sri Lanka, classified as a violet spinel. It exhibits a captivating color shift, appearing as a grey-violet blue in natural light and transitioning to a warmer lilac purple indoors.

Expertly cut by our premier lapidary, Anura, the spinel is shaped into a delicate oval that appears closer to 4 carats due to its shallower depth. We selected this mounting because the subtle grey hue of the platinum provides a neutral backdrop, enhancing the vibrant violet tones of the spinel. 

Flanking the spinel are trios of round and marquise diamonds on either side, adding to the ring's impressive presence on the hand. The design features a classic look infused with modern elements, thanks to its elegant curves and uniquely shaped gemstones—truly a work of art. 

Details: 900 platinum ring set with a natural 2.94ct oval color-shifting blue-violet spinel (Sri Lanka, untreated) and .37ctw of round and marquise diamond accents (VS2, GH).
