My ring with red Tanzanian spinel from Swala

Beautiful color and setting!

But now, it is summertime, the Soccer World Cup, everyone is friendly and having fun

Does that mean you've got tickets to the World Cup? If so, you're doubly lucky to own the gorgeous spinel and be at the sporting event.

We did - we are leaving soon. The atmosphere is very friendly, even at Russia/Spain match, everyone was very polite.
Yesterday the Columbians lost to the Brits. I feel sorry for the Columbians, they are very sincere fans.

The top of performance, as I think, were the Japanese who demonstrated great game (but lost to Belgians at the end, 2:3). They left their locker room in immaculate state with the word "thank you" in Russian.

This... they were winning and lost at the very end. They were devastated, but what a spirit!

Wow...I missed this....stunning in its beauty and simplicity. This has to be one of my favorite rings.

Have a great time...there is something about being part of the passion one sees at international games.

Thank you, @leslie1956

Spinels vs rubies? Case-by-case, I think.

I never understood what was sitting in the Black Prince spinel of the British crown. Apparently, it is a ruby set to fill in a hole from the drilling - at one point, the 170-ct spinel was worn as a pendant!

The spinel is prettier.

That is amazingly beautiful and has that candy colored look.

Someone on PS said that we need a fainting emoji and I agree!

What a colour!!! It’s absolutely beautiful. Stunning setting too. Matching the beauty of your stone

Gorgeous stone!!! The person who called it a flame colour is a idiot. Flame spinels have more orange and often browns in them than yours does.
