The Black Prince's Ruby has sat at the centre of the British Imperial Crown for six hundred years.
It's not a ruby. It's spinel — a mineral so consistently magnificent that emperors and crown jewelers spent centuries calling it the wrong name. It wasn't officially recognized as a September birthstone until 2016.
Six hundred years as the most remarkable stone in the room. Under someone else's name.
Some women know exactly what that feels like.
This week's Thursday Affair: three pieces for the woman who is done waiting to be named correctly. Black spinel finally given its place. A beech leaf cast in silver for the woman who holds her colour longest — and keeps feeding what comes next. And the Athena Spear Ring, made to order in 14K yellow gold with a custom sapphire, for when you're ready to draw your own line.
