Burmese red spinel ring

[Mrs_Strizzle]

I'm so excited. Today my new-to-me Burmese red spinel ring arrived. It has a GIA report stating unheated and Burmese. It weighs 1.45 cts, but faces up big at 9.1 x 6.2mm. I'm not completely in love with the setting, but it will do until I reset and happens to fit perfectly. It is 18k with .58cts of diamonds and weighs 10 grams.

To me it is even better than the vendor pics that make it look more pink than red and my aim was true red. I took a gamble because the GIA just calls it simply red. I love the stone so much.

Oh wow!!!! Beautiful! There's a hint of pink which probably from the fluoro! (this is never a bad thing!) Wear in great health!

Beautiful spinel! The setting is nice. Very substantial which might grow on you over time.

What a gorgeous spine!! I'm actually kinda digging the diamond motif of the setting. Enjoy!!

Thank y'all so much! I love red, but it's so hard to find. Other red spinels I've bought and returned didn't have enough fluorescence and darkened in the sun. This one loves the sun!
