{"title":"Spinel | Utopian Creations","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"110\" data-end=\"328\"\u003eSpinel is one of the great underappreciated gemstones — durable, vivid and naturally beautiful. For centuries, fine red spinels were mistaken for rubies, including some of the most famous “rubies” in royal collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"330\" data-end=\"604\"\u003eToday, spinel is valued in its own right for its lively brilliance, excellent wearability and remarkable colour range. It can be found in raspberry red, violet, purple, pink, grey, blue and black, with each stone offering its own balance of colour, brightness and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"606\" data-end=\"872\"\u003eWith a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale, spinel is suitable for many jewellery designs when set thoughtfully and worn with care. It is a beautiful choice for earrings, pendants and special rings, and can also be considered for more regular wear with the right design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"874\" data-end=\"1157\"\u003eAt Utopian Creations, our spinels are chosen for their colour, individuality and provenance.
