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

These two crimson spinels begin their story deep within the metamorphic veins of Burma, where intense heat and pressure coaxed pure aluminum and magnesium into a gem that has been prized across cultures for centuries. Hand extracted from weathered alluvial deposits, these cushion shaped red spinels were chosen for their remarkable transparency and unaltered, natural beauty. Weighing 0.70 carats and 0.80 carats respectively, and measuring 5.47 by 4.76 by 3.35 millimeters and 5.62 by 4.71 by 3.52 millimeters, they were given a mixed brilliant cut to maximize life and fire, and then polished to an excellent finish. At eye level both stones read as eye clean, their clarity allowing a deep, intense color intensity to glow from within, without any enhancement, preserving the authentic character that only a natural Burmese spinel can offer. From the hands that carefully recovered them, to the skilled cutters who respected their proportions and color, every step was taken to honor the gem that nature created.

As a pair destined to become a custom set of earrings, these spinels tell a finished story the moment they meet a thoughtful design. Their cushion silhouettes and mixed brilliant facets translate beautifully to both classic prong settings and contemporary bezel designs, offering secure mounts that let light travel through the pavilion and return as a warm, saturated red flash. The near matched weights and complementary dimensions lend themselves to symmetrical studs or elegant drop earrings, where subtle movement will reveal the depth and polish of each stone. Because they are natural and untreated, the pairing carries provenance and integrity, qualities we at The Natural Gemstone Company place at the heart of every commission. Allowing our bench jewellers to suggest metal pairings, 18 karat yellow gold will enhance the warm tones, while platinum or white gold will give a modern contrast that emphasizes brilliance. If you prefer a bespoke concept, we will guide you through design sketches and practical choices so your finished earrings feel balanced, wearable, and entirely personal. These Burmese spinels are a rare opportunity to wear a piece of geological history, handcrafted into an intimate accessory that will be cherished for generations.
