Synthetic Spinel Birthstone Ring / Solitaire Spinel Ring

Synthetic spinel is produced in vast array of colors, many of which are specifically engineered to simulate expensive gemstones, such as aquamarine, sapphire, and alexandrite or birthstones.  

It can be made using methods like flame fusion (Verneuil process), which is a cost-effective method for producing large quantities.

This synthetic gemstone is set in an a stunning Art Deco setting that it took my breath away when I saw it. 

The gem measures 6mm round and is estimated to weigh 0.75 cts. The colour is a rich bluish purple. When I look down at the stone with its rich colour, you can't help but recall how purple was once only associated with Royalty.

Rulers across the ancient world, including the kings of Persia and Alexander the Great, adopted purple as a symbol of their status. In Ancient Rome, its use became a matter of law (sumptuary laws), strictly regulated by social status.

The ring is made out of 18K yellow gold. It has been stamped for the metal purity on the inside of the shank. The lovely floral setting is quite pretty with rope details and gold ball accents.
