To live content with small means;
to seek elegance rather than luxury,
and refinement rather than fashion;
to be worthy, not respectable, and
wealthy, not rich;
to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages,
with open heart;
to study hard;
to think quietly;
to act frankly,
talk gently, await occasions, hurry never;
in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden
and unconscious,
grow up through the common -
this is my symphony.
~ William Henry Channing

Spinel is spectacularly beautiful in its brilliance, and one of my favourite gems!
These cushion cut spinels are each unique in colour, ranging from fiery red to pastel pink, through to sage green, and dove grey.
Set in eco-friendly recycled 14k gold, I handcraft the entire setting from raw materials...a golden home lovingly made for your treasured gem.
Each spinel is unique and one-of-a-kind. These are natural stones so they have inclusions, though I don't feel this detracts from their beauty in any way! If you wish to see more photos of any of the spinels, please get in touch before purchasing!
Spinel is the second birthstone for August
