Is it possible to have too many pink spinels? I think it might be…. I’m addicted to them and now I have to decide which ones to set and which ones will be left behind. Tough decision! They are all so pretty.

The colors are slightly different but it’s hard to capture in a photo. The big cushion is similar to padparadcha orangey pink and the photo with it alone with an oval shows the color better. The one sitting in the ring mounting is for sale because it’s a bit too big for me and it’s more of a reddish-pink that changes to a purple in some lighting. Super sparkly but too big for me (almost 7mm).

My collection is complete (probably).

I love the orangey-pink ones! They will make a great set for you in case you ever want a ring and necklace combo.

The orangey pink cushion is probably going to be the next one that I set into a ring. I’m thinking a three stone with two diamonds sides that I already have. In yellow gold as always for me. If only funds were unlimited!

Hi. I just saw this. It’s extremely clear and sparkly but the facets are bigger so it has broader sparkle. It had good fire. I have no idea how to set this one. Strangely shaped halo? I have so many spinels I don’t think this one will get set anytime soon because of its shape

Here are more photos and a bad iPhone drawing.

I got another spinel and I have one more on the way and then I swear I’m done because I can’t afford to set them all!
Here are some photos of my new 6.1mm round. Luckily I prefer small jewelry so the stones aren’t large or expensive. This one is also pink but definitely a different shade that sometimes looks purplish. It has fire even in regular lighting which is impressive. The first photo is in bright natural light, second in dim natural light and the last in my bathroom LED lighting.
