What Makes This Gemstone Relevant
Sphene’s dispersion is higher than diamond’s, which is the fire behind the name, and a round cut is the classic way to put a round cut green sphene in a ring. At 8 mm, it’s a size that holds its own in a solitaire-style setting. If you’re deciding on shape, we also carry the same carat weight in an octagon cut sphene, which is 7 x 6 x 4 mm against this stone’s 8 x 8 x 4.5 mm. Our guide on gemstone cuts explained compares the shapes, and more green titanite sphene is in the Sphene Gemstones collection.
Buying Considerations
A round stone has no corners to chip, which makes it an easy shape to set, but sphene is softer than many ring stones, such as sapphire. A bezel or protective prongs will help it last in a ring, and a pendant will see less wear. If this is your first loose stone, our guide to buying loose gemstones online without getting scammed is a useful checklist. Ships economy.
