Parure Atelier unveils an exceptional gemstone collection – the Mahenge Spinel. This refined curation celebrates one of the rarest and most coveted discoveries of the 21st century, known for its vivid pink and red hues, exceptional brilliance, and minimal treatment.
First unearthed near the village of Mahenge in 2007, the vibrant Spinel quickly captured the attention of collectors and connoisseurs. Unlike traditional Burmese or Ceylon Spinel, Mahenge Spinel is admired for its intensely saturated colour, glowing with high chromium content that appears lit from within.
Furthermore, the Mahenge Spinel is valued for its minimal treatment, unlike rubies, it is not subject to heat enhancement, and most stones display exceptional clarity naturally. In rare cases, minor crack-filling may be used, similar to techniques applied to emeralds and Paraiba tourmalines. Any such treatment is always disclosed on the stone’s certificate, verified by leading gemmological labs including GRS, GIA, and Lotus.
The Mahenge Spinel collection is a timeless expression of individuality, designed to be cherished for generations. At Parure Atelier, each journey is bespoke, offering personal consultations, custom designs, and dedicated aftercare to ensure every piece remains as exceptional as the moment it was created.
