Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the red spinels are natural, of Tanzania origin, with no indication of treatments and 'vibrant red' colour. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the red spinels are of a brilliant vivid pinkish red colour, very clean to naked eyes. Under 10x loupe, the red spinels are generally clean, one only shows a minute dark inclusion on one side, not noticeable to naked eyes. The smaller red spinel are of intense red to pinkish red colour, lightly included with typical natural inclusions. The diamonds are about I to J colours, VS to SI clarity.
