Antique & Vintage Spinel Jewellery
Uncover the rare beauty of spinel, a gemstone long celebrated — and often mistaken — for ruby in royal crowns and treasures. Our collection of antique and vintage spinel jewellery features vivid shades of crimson, rose, lilac, and cobalt, each stone alive with light and history.
For centuries, spinel adorned the jewels of emperors and monarchs; the famous “Black Prince’s Ruby” in the British Imperial State Crown is, in fact, a red spinel. Valued for its brilliance and durability, it became a favourite among Georgian and Victorian jewellers, who admired its sparkle and rich palette.
By the Edwardian and Art Deco eras, spinel found new life in refined, modern settings — from intricate rings and brooches to elegant pendants, capturing both rarity and glamour.
