A magnificent cushion cut Burma spinel takes center stage in this beautiful pendant. The monumental 15.96-carat gem is accompanied by its GRS and SSEF reports, which verify its prestigious origin and lack of heat treatment, meaning the gem’s ideal deep red color is entirely natural. The central gem is complemented by a floral design composed of 5.75 carats of cascading white diamonds. The pear-shaped and round diamonds’ elegant bezels and articulated setting allow the gems to glitter from every angle, reflecting the spinel’s majestic red hue. Set in platinum.

Historically revered yet long misunderstood, spinel is often referred to as the “imposter gem” of royal history. After centuries, some of the world’s most celebrated crown jewels—long believed to be rubies—were later identified as spinels, including famed stones held in European royal collections. They have experienced a surge in popularity in recent years due to their remarkable range of colors and incredible brilliance. Mined primarily in Burma, Sri Lanka and Tanzania, this gem is becoming rarer and rarer, making untreated examples such as this highly desirable.
