Spinning Spinel

Spinels are one of my favorites. I like the idea it is an underdog of a gem.  It's bright, vivid and attractive colors have ironically made it as the most under appreciated gem.  Since ancient times,  Spinels have been confused with better known stones like Rubies and Sapphires.  And for pretty good reasons too. Apart from their wonderful colors, Spinels are hard and tough gems, suitable for everyday wear.  Some Spinels even show color-change. So it was not a big surprise when loose multi color spinels took my attention. Setting them with diamonds just made them just so lovely.
