1.37 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Spinel Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Deep within the storied soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka these two purplish pink spinels began their long journey as minute crystals dispersed by ancient rivers and rains. Generations of miners in the island s legendary gem fields have learned to read the language of alluvial gravels and to coax rare color from the earth with patient hand and experience. Historically spinel from Ceylon has been mistaken for other noble gems and quietly adorned crowns and heirlooms across cultures. These particular gems carry that island provenance in their color and clarity. Each rough was carefully selected for its transparency and intensity before being entrusted to a master cutter who respected the stone s natural potential. The result is a matched pair whose story is as much about place and tradition as it is about the skill that transformed raw crystal into polished brilliance.

The two oval spinels weigh 0.71 carats and 0.66 carats respectively, with dimensions 5.62 x 4.68 x 3.56 mm, and 5.64 x 4.68 x 3.23 mm. Cut in a mixed brilliant cut they exhibit an intense color intensity and an excellent polish. Their clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and enhancement no enhancement. Together they complement each other beautifully in both size and hue. The slight difference in carat weight and depth gives one gem a touch more presence while the other offers a subtly lighter profile ensuring a harmonious pairing that reads as balanced rather than identical. Their matching widths and near identical ovals make them ideal for paired settings such as stud earrings or a double stone ring where symmetry and gentle contrast are desirable. The purplish pink tone dances between rosy warmth and cool violet depending on the light, and the mixed brilliant cut maximizes scintillation so that both stones speak to one another when set side by side. At The Natural Gemstone Company we cherish the provenance and the hands that shape each gem, and we present this untreated Ceylon pair as a celebration of natural color and careful craftsmanship. For clients seeking a pair with character and unity these spinels offer a narrative you can wear every day.
