Spinel & Moonstone necklace.
Black spinel is a rare gemstone made up of hard vitreous magnesium aluminium oxide or magnesium aluminate. Specifically, black spinel is one of the rarest minerals that comes from the Spinel family, the most famous being the black Prince’s ruby.
These moonstones are of the finest quality and have an amazing colour. They are clear, not milky. Their name is derived from a visual effect, sheen or schiller (adularescence), caused by light diffraction within a microstructure consisting of regular exsolution layers (lamellae) of different alkali feldspars (orthoclase and sodium-rich plagioclase).
Because gemstones are a lifetime passion, David & Nicola have both studied at the internationally recognised Gem-A and have passed the prestigious DGA. An extensive stock of beautiful diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds and pearls is available for you to select from. Importantly, we will gladly show you a selection. Simultaneously, discuss and explain the technical and aesthetic considerations. Without a doubt, the design & stone you choose will be unique and beautiful. Designed to suit your lifestyle, after that, it is an ongoing delight. A perfect birthday, anniversary or Christmas present, beautifully gift-wrapped.
