I'm looking to buy my first spinel, probably violet to pink. But the range of options is overwhelming and the prices are all over the map. I want a good color, good cut, eye clean.
I found two, one is a nice color and big size for a someday ring project I have in mind. Just under 1k.
The other , well she was a surprise. A 1 ct pear. 1200. Not at all what I thought I was looking for, but I keep looking at it. So tempted.
So do you have advice, preferred spinel vendors? I've looked at a lot of the usual vendors. I'm new to colored gems so worry about making an expensive mistake.
