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

Spinel is a gem with a history that stretches back through the ages, prized by collectors and connoisseurs for its pure, crystalline clarity and enduring presence in classical jewelry. These two oval purple spinels from Burma Myanmar embody that legacy, offering a refined tone that recalls heirloom pieces and royal collections. The pair weigh 0.60 carats and 0.64 carats respectively, and their measurements are 6.20 x 4.36 x 2.90 millimeters for the 0.60 carat stone, and 6.40 x 4.35 x 2.92 millimeters for the 0.64 carat stone. Each stone is fashioned in an oval shape with a mixed brilliant cut, and both exhibit a medium color intensity with an excellent polish. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, ensuring transparent window to their delicate purple hues. These spinels have been heat treated to enhance their color, and they arrive to you as refined examples of Burmese gemcraft through the careful eye of The Natural Gemstone Company.

When brought into a design these matched spinels will create a balanced, eye catching composition that honors classical symmetry while allowing subtle individuality. The near matching weights and closely aligned dimensions make them ideal as a paired focal point for earrings, cufflinks, or side by side pendants, while the small differences in facet pattern and tone lend a living quality that prevents a static or manufactured feel. The oval silhouette and mixed brilliant cut work together to maximize scintillation and return light with a soft, lively sparkle, so that each movement makes the purple tones deepen and awaken. With a medium color intensity these stones maintain regal presence without overpowering a design, allowing them to harmonize beautifully with yellow gold for warm contrast, with rose gold for romantic depth, or with platinum and white gold for a clean, classical ensemble. Their very slightly included clarity at eye level means they present as clean and luminous to the viewer while retaining the natural character that collectors and traditionalists value.

For those seeking a timeless statement or an heirloom ready piece these Burmese spinels provide a rare opportunity to craft something that will endure through generations. The enduring nature of spinel and its storied use in historical regalia makes these stones particularly suited to settings that emphasize legacy, such as three stone rings flanking a center diamond, paired drops that echo classical proportions, or a low profile bezel that protects the gem while showcasing its color and cut. Heat treatment enhances the stability and visual appeal of these gems, while their excellent polish ensures that each facet face contributes to a composed, luminous whole. At The Natural Gemstone Company we appreciate the balance between history and wearable design, and we are available to consult on bespoke settings that will let these spinels speak with clarity and grace. Whether chosen as a complementary pair in a matched wearable set or as the refined centerpieces of a quietly regal commission, these purple spinels promise to create balanced, eye catching designs that honor tradition and invite admiration.
