Black Spinell and Red Garnet Earrings

HEART BRIOLETT GARNETS WITH 4+ CT EACH FACETED BLACK SPINEL BRIOLETTS ON STERLING SILVER CHAIN AND EARWIRES. SUGGESTED RETAIL PRICE IS $180. A little about Spinel: Spinel is a favourite of gem dealers and collectors on account of its brilliance, hardness and wide range of spectacular colours. In fact, the main factor preventing the spinel from achieving greater recognition is its rarity. Fine spinels are now rarer than rubies. Black spinel is prized for its own splendor as well as its resemblence in hardness and color to black diamond.
