Sphene (Titanite) 0.46 CT | Oval Cut Traslucent Madagascar
This lively oval shows a bright lemon-lime body with subtle jardin that diffuses light into the species’ signature rainbow “fire.” Well-proportioned facets and a crisp polish create an adamantine luster, so the gem flashes vividly under warm light while remaining fresh and citrusy in daylight. Its spirited color and scintillation make a chic focal point for a pendant or a protective bezel ring in 18k yellow gold.
