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

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present a pair of truly refined spinels that stand apart from the common market offerings, because the first impression they give is one of exceptional smoothness and polish, qualities that matter most in high end design, this pair presents a tactile and visual finish that rivals much larger stones, and that fine smooth finish makes them ideal for pieces where comfort and uninterrupted shine are essential, many comparable stones on the market display surface milling or polishing marks that reduce sparkle under close scrutiny, while these spinels offer a flawless visual field that allows light to travel through the gem without interruption, that clarity of surface combined with the cushion silhouette creates a luxurious look that reads as deliberate craftsmanship rather than mass production, when you are choosing gemstones for a premium collection you want stones that deliver consistent behavior under different lighting conditions, and these spinels do that with balanced brightness and a deep but restrained glow.

Technically these stones are precise and honest in specification, the weights are 0.55 carats and 0.59 carats respectively, their dimensions are 5.56 by 4.16 by 2.81 millimeters and 5.49 by 4.21 by 3.12 millimeters, they are cushion shaped and cut in a mixed brilliant style which provides both broad flashes and scintillation, the clarity is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level which means they read clean to most wearers while retaining natural origin inclusions that confirm authenticity, color intensity is described as intense which gives them a presence beyond their modest carat weight, the polish is excellent, and there has been no enhancement, their origin is Burma Myanmar which places them within a lineage of historically prized spinels, compared to many stones that have been heat treated or fracture filled these spinels maintain their natural state which enhances long term value and collector appeal.

For design professionals and discerning buyers the smooth finish on these spinels translates into immediate advantages in high end settings, a highly polished pavilion and crown mean fewer cut corners for the setter and a more predictable interaction between metal and gem, the cushion shape is versatile, matching classic four prong and bezel settings as well as modern tension and halo concepts, when paired in a single piece the very close color balance and matched size deliver symmetry that is difficult to achieve with off the shelf alternatives, in comparison to common blue sapphires and treated rubies these spinels offer a unique bluish grey to bluish violet personality that reads as sophisticated and understated, they also compare favorably with synthetic spinels and lower grade natural stones because the surface finish here preserves brilliance rather than scattering light, for earrings or a delicate pendant the smooth finish reduces the chance of catching on fine fabrics, for rings the mirror like polish reduces wear marks and keeps the stone looking fresh for longer.

In terms of value proposition these Burmese spinels represent a compelling choice for those who want natural provenance and a finish ready for the finest jewelry, the lack of enhancement means you are acquiring a gem in its natural state, a quality that collectors and upscale designers prize over superficially larger but treated alternatives, when set by an experienced jeweler the excellent polish will allow the stone to perform like a larger gem because fewer internal and surface interruptions mean better light return, The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the accuracy of these descriptions and we encourage comparison to other market options because we believe these spinels outperform alternatives in smoothness, polish, and genuine color character, if your objective is to create a piece that reads as bespoke and enduring then this matched pair is an ideal choice and we are available to discuss how they will best be integrated into your next high end design.
