Among the world's rarest spinels, those from the Mahenge plateau of Tanzania occupy a category entirely their own. Their vivid, saturated red — often described as closer to a fine ruby than any other gemstone — is found in quantities so limited that serious collectors treat each new stone as an event.
This 6.013 carat Mahenge spinel is an exceptional example of the variety. Its clarity is remarkable for a stone of this size, and its colour — a pure, luminous red — shows no compromise. A halo of natural round and oval diamonds in 18k white gold frames the stone with quiet precision, letting the spinel remain the undisputed centre of attention.
For the collector who understands what Mahenge means.
