Hello gem experts! I am looking a for a round, red spinel under $900 for an existing setting. Of course, this drastically reduces my options. This is for my mother, whom I have gifted my old setting to for an upcoming anniversary. The ring fits her perfectly and is the Whiteflash bead set. My mother only likes red and blue stones. Plus she works in a school with children. It looks like in the 8 mm size we can't get a sapphire. So we went with spinels and I would like your advice on this well cut spinel. I have read all of the information in the guide sticky. I am a total noob and have only experience with ideal cut diamonds. This spinel that I'm asking about looks dark (extinction?) I don't see a window, however, but it is a nice size at about 9 mm and in some of the pics looks to be a delicious raspberry color. What do you think? Please help!
