1.13 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Spinel Pair from Burma (Myanmar)

Two small moons caught and held in cut and polish, these matched greyish blue spinels weigh 0.53 carats and 0.60 carats, respectively, each an oval whisper of the sea and the dusk, dimensions of 5.89 by 4.11 by 2.86 millimeters and 6.04 by 4.09 by 3.37 millimeters. Their mixed brilliant cut scatters light like a memory of stars across a quiet midnight, the facets arranged to coax out an intense color intensity that feels deeper than its size, a shade that leans toward storm-blue with a gentle silvering, serene and mysterious in equal measure. At an eye-level clarity grade of slightly included these gems carry the small traces of origin that give them character rather than fault, tiny signatures of the earth that catch the light differently as you turn them, and their excellent polish allows each plane to breathe and glitter as if lit from within. These spinels are heat treated to refine and reveal their color, a widely accepted enhancement we disclose openly, and their provenance is Burma, Myanmar, a land famed for producing stones with quiet, compelling hues. The Natural Gemstone Company presents them as a harmonious pair, perfect to anchor a sentimental ring, a delicate pendant duo, or mirrored accents that promise a private symmetry between two hearts.

Beyond their beauty we take the story of these gemstones seriously, because romance for us extends to the hands that find and fashion such treasures. Our sourcing for these Myanmar spinels follows a rigorous responsible sourcing program, a tapestry of practices designed to ensure that every facet of procurement honors people and place. We work through direct partnerships with local miners and trusted intermediaries who share our commitment to transparency, requiring documentation at every transfer of custody so the path from mine to bench is traceable. Each parcel undergoes due diligence and risk assessment aligned with internationally recognized responsible sourcing frameworks, and we commission independent third-party audits and laboratory verification when possible to confirm origin and disclose treatments. We insist on fair purchasing practices, providing prices that reflect true value and supporting safe working conditions by partnering with community organizations that help implement health and safety training, and we prohibit child labor and other exploitative practices in any part of our supply chain.

Our ethical commitments extend beyond compliance into active stewardship. Where feasible we invest in small-scale community development projects and environmental remediation initiatives in mining regions, encourage sustainable mining practices that minimize landscape impact, and support local cutting and polishing artisans so more of the value stays with the communities that birthed the stones. The Natural Gemstone Company offers full disclosure with each purchase, including a provenance statement and treatment disclosure, and we welcome independent gemological reports to accompany these spinels so your knowledge of them is as clear as their polish. Choosing these matched greyish blue spinels is an act of both affection and conscience, a vow to wear beauty that remembers its origin. Imagine them set close together, two quiet tides mirrored on a band or cradled as twin drops on a chain, carrying with them not only the hush of a Burmese dusk but also the careful, human story of how they were found, honored, and brought to light. If you would like further documentation or to discuss setting ideas that best showcase their subtle fire, The Natural Gemstone Company will guide you with both expertise and respect for the journey these gems have traveled.
