1.82 Ct. Cobalt Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A rare opportunity awaits for the connoisseur who seeks a single stone that speaks with clarity, color, and provenance, a piece so singular that it elevates any setting, and a treasure that will be worn and treasured by generations. Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this beautiful transparent cobalt blue spinel is an exceptional specimen, weighing 1.82 carats, cut into a refined cushion shape with exacting dimensions of 7.46 x 6.22 x 4.54 millimeters. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize scintillation and internal fire, while an excellent polish reveals the gem to the eye as a luminous and crisp presence. Clarity is described as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a distinction that means the stone appears clean and pure to the unaided eye, allowing the intense color intensity to read with rare vivacity. This is an all natural, no enhancement gemstone, sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a storied origin that has produced some of the world most celebrated gems, and each facet, each plane of this spinel is a testament to that legacy.

This cobalt blue spinel is remarkable not only for its present beauty, but also for the way that beauty will continue to captivate in the years ahead, an attribute that distinguishes true heirlooms from mere accessories. Spinel is known for its admirable durability, and at this weight and proportion the stone sits with presence and confidence in any bespoke mount, resisting abrasion and ageing in ways that preserve both polish and brilliance. Because this gem has not been subjected to enhancement, its color and structure are intrinsically stable, free from treatments that might alter or fade over time, and the intense blue that greets you now is the authentic hue that will continue to command attention. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to balance lively sparkle with broad flashes of color, and in changing light the cushion silhouette will read as an intimate and sophisticated blue, moving gracefully from saturated midsummer sky tones in bright light to a softer, more ethereal cornflower shade in indoor illumination, a chameleon like quality that keeps the gaze returning. The very very slightly included clarity grade gives this spinel an organic signature, a gentle fingerprint that confirms its natural origin while remaining invisible in ordinary wear, an assurance that the stone will remain visually pristine for daily enjoyment.

Ownership of this single piece is an invitation into an exclusive circle, a promise that your jewelry is not mass produced, but personally curated by specialists who understand the rare chemistry of color and cut. The Natural Gemstone Company offers this 1.82 carat cushion cobalt spinel as a limited offering, and because such transparent, intensely colored, untreated stones from Ceylon do not appear often in the market, acquiring it now secures a gem that is likely to appreciate in rarity and desirability over time. For those who commission custom settings, the proportions of 7.46 x 6.22 x 4.54 millimeters make it ideal for a refined solitaire ring, an elegant pendant, or a show stopping bespoke cocktail piece, and our gem cutters and jewelers will advise on prong, bezel, or mixed mounts that both protect the stone and let its light speak. When set, the excellent polish and the mixed brilliant faceting will interact with every movement, casting soft blue reflections on the skin and creating an intimate dialogue between wearer and gem, a quiet luxury that grows more personal with each passing year.
