SPINEL
AUGUST STONE OF THE MONTH
Prized for its exceptional brilliance and remarkable depth of colour, spinel is one of August’s birthstones and a gemstone of rare individuality.
Its name is derived from the Latin spina, meaning “thorn”, inspired by the elegant, pointed form of its natural crystals. Traditionally associated with renewal, vitality and inner strength, spinel is believed to symbolise resilience, optimism and confidence.
From rich black and vivid blue to luminous red and multicoloured tones, each stone possesses a beauty entirely its own. Once mistaken for ruby, spinel is now celebrated in its own right for its clarity, intensity and distinctive character.
