Studs Purple Spinel Earring 2.38 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight, 18K White Gold

This pair of cushion shape purple spinels, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, totals 2.38 total carat weight, each stone measuring 5.94 by 5.55 by 4.55 mm. The gems are mixed brilliant cut, a faceting style that unites a well proportioned brilliant crown with a precision pavilion that maximizes internal light return while preserving intense color saturation. At eye level the clarity is graded very slightly included, and the material reads as transparent with clean windowing and minimal extinction, characteristics that allow the deep purple hues to remain lively and consistent under varied lighting. Origin is Burma, Myanmar, a source long respected for producing spinels with saturated, pure tones, and each stone displays excellent polish and exacting facet junctions, which together reveal crisp facet reflections and a lively scintillation pattern typical of expertly executed mixed brilliant faceting.

The mounting is executed entirely in platinum 950, with a four prong setting that secures each cushion with minimal metal obstructing the crown, an open gallery designed to permit light ingress from the pavilion, and hand finished prongs that exhibit tight shoulders and uniform symmetry. The pair is matched for size, tone, and cut geometry, indicating careful selection and calibrated cutting to produce pairwise optical coherence, a hallmark of high jewelry discipline. The workmanship and finishing reflect standards comparable to those of leading haute joaillerie ateliers, with attention to facet consistency, pavilion angle control, and seat precision that mirror the meticulous protocols of renowned houses. In practice this means the stones maintain optimal orientation in their seats, face up color balance is preserved, and wearability is enhanced by the low profile yet secure platinum setting. For the connoisseur who values technical refinement as much as gem quality, these earrings offer a combination of Burmese color, mixed brilliant cutting finesse, and enduring platinum craftsmanship that illustrate The Natural Gemstone Company commitment to delivering pieces with both gemological integrity and artisanal excellence.
