STONE ORIGIN AND HISTORY:

LUC YEN, VIETNAM (Spinel Melee)
From the misty mountains of northern Vietnam, Luc Yen spinel has become synonymous with brilliance, color, and rarity. This region produces some of the most coveted spinels in the world, from vibrant lavenders and saturated pinks to deep electric blues and glowing “Jedi” reds—named by gem dealers for their neon intensity and near-magical luminosity.

Ideal for fine melee, Luc Yen spinel offers a unique palette of saturated hues rarely seen in accent stones. Even in small sizes, these gems deliver incredible light performance, precise clarity, and deeply saturated color—making them the perfect highlights in high-jewelry designs. Whether used to create tonal gradients or to spark contrast, Luc Yen melee elevates the detail work of any piece.

We source our spinel through a trusted partner who works directly with mining families in the Luc Yen region. This relationship provides miners with fair compensation and annual support, while giving us direct access to exceptional rough. Each gem is ethically sourced, carefully calibrated, and expertly cut to maximize brilliance—even at the smallest scale.

Our curated melee collection captures the magic of Luc Yen—where every tiny stone brings with it an extraordinary story of color, care, and craftsmanship.
