When choosing a gemstone for everyday wear, durability matters as much as beauty, and spinel scores very well on this measure. On the Mohs hardness scale spinel rates at 8, which places it above common jewelry minerals like quartz which rates at 7, and just below corundum family stones such as ruby and sapphire which rate at 9, while diamond sits at 10. This means your pink spinel will resist scratches and abrasions far better than many colored gems, and with reasonable care it will maintain its polished luster through daily life. The combination of excellent polish and a hard crystal structure makes this gem a practical choice for rings and bracelets that see frequent wear, while its cushion shape and mixed brilliant cut help hide minor surface wear over time. To protect its beauty further, avoid harsh chemicals and hard knocks, clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and have settings checked periodically by a trusted jeweler to keep this jewel secure and radiant.
