14kt Yellow Gold Spinel Earrings

These 14-karat yellow gold earrings are set with natural spinel.

Spinel is the gemstone long mistaken for ruby in old crown jewels; in its own right it grows as a hard, brilliant, untreated red, pink, or blue. The center stone is an untreated spinel from Sri Lanka, its color natural and disclosed as it is on every listing.

Gold around a natural colored stone, the kind of piece given to mark something and worn long after the day it marked. Hand-finished and photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
