Spinels are the natural stone on the rise, both in price and popularity. The growing public consciousness of these stones is definitely bringing them much more to the forefront in jewellery design. Between a 7.5 and an 8 on the Mohs scale these amazing natural stones are usually fairly clean of inclusions meaning they need less treatments and they are lovely and hard for everyday jewellery wear. 
They also come in the most amazing range of colour - from greys and peaches through to vibrant reds and blues and into even darker winey hues. We absolutely love these ranges and the fact that they can literally appeal to everyone.

These amazing studs are the most magical vibrant blues - one of the most sought after and expensive colour of these amazing stones. 

Four claw set in 9ct yellow gold these are fabulous first or second hole studs in such a striking colour.

FAQ

Sizing

What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.

We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.

Current prices are: $40 for sizing down, $40 for rhodium plating (all white gold rings), and sizing up starts at $50 - and depends on the carat of gold, width of band and number of sizes. These are subject to change at any time and remain linked to the volatile changes in precious metals.

Time frames - sizing is usually complete within 3 weeks.

Lay-by

Lay-by is available on all full price items (sale items can be bought on a split payment).

As well as Afterpay and Paypal Pay-in-4 which are available at checkout, we also do traditional lay-by.
