November 30th, 2020 by rneubertFor almost four centuries and ten generations, the Wild family has been dedicated to the most beautiful of all businesses: the manufacture of fascinating gemstones. After the sudden death of his father Fritz in 1984, Constantin Wild took over the business at the early age of twenty. Since then, he has controlled the fate of this company that enjoys worldwide fame. Its heart beats in Idar-Oberstein, the cradle of coloured gemstones. Steeped in history, the town where his great-grandfather Johann Carl Wild founded the company in 1847 is the starting point of a far-reaching international network. And a precious treasure lies hidden here: tradition and expertise as the foundation stone of a profound knowledge of gemstones which Constantin Wildâs customers and partners have appreciated for more than thirty-five years.

RED SPINEL
November 30th, 2020 by rneubertIt wasnât until about 150 years ago that the spinel was recognized as a mineral in its own right. Lo and behold: some well-known ârubiesâ turned out to be spinels, among them the Black Princeâs Ruby in the English Imperial State Crown and the pear-shaped stones in the crown of the Wittelsbachs of Bavaria. Traditionally spinels have long been found in the gemstone-bearing mines in Burma and Sri Lanka but more recently also in the excavations at Tunduru in Tanzania, Ilakaka in Madagascar and Luc Yen in Vietnam.
Spinels occur in various shades of pink, red, blue, green, yellow, grey and violet. The most sought-after ones are the red. The rariry of this 13-carat Vietnamese spinel lies in its remarkable size and pure colour.
