I had goosebumps when I first heard the story of spinel.
The “secret” of spinel lies in its hidden past — a magnificent gemstone long mistaken for ruby. Despite its exceptional brilliance, extraordinary colour, and remarkable hardness, it remained overlooked for centuries, set within the British Crown Jewels, unrecognised for its true magnificence.
Spinel is an underrated yet superior stone, symbolising renewal, strength, and protection.
Now, doesn’t that story feel almost too familiar?
