Court jester is crowned king

You can't fool all of the people all of the time, but you can fool some of the world's greatest rulers some of the time. At least if you're a spinel. Historians and gemologists are still discovering that enormous "rubies" inside the crowns and crown jewels of royal families from Russia, India and England are actually radiant red spinel. But the gemstone that fooled generations of kings and queens is finally getting the royal treatment it deserves. Today the geological sibling of ruby is valued for its brilliance, hardness and vivid color.

We've promoted spinel from "Royal Impostor" to "Royal Highness" with a unique design that captures over one full carat of rough, uncut red spinel in a glittering gold vermeil, crown-shaped "cage." No two stones are exactly alike, making every piece of the Royal Spinel Set a one-of-a-kind work of art. Each crown is encrusted with round, lab-created DiamondAura®, including a sparkling accent at the center of the delicate vermeil cross. A stunning collection of conversation pieces that will surely have you holding court wherever you go!
