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

This matched pair of pink spinels presents a refined balance of size, color, and optical performance, suitable for fine jewelry that calls for a bright, feminine accent. The stones weigh 0.86 carats and 0.90 carats respectively, with precise dimensions of 6.64 by 5.50 by 4.02 mm, and 6.75 by 5.56 by 4.02 mm. Both are fashioned in a trillion cut, yielding a triangular profile that maximizes the interaction of light across each pavilion and crown. The material is transparent, with a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a level that allows each gem to display excellent clarity under normal viewing conditions while retaining natural character. Color is of medium intensity, a cool to mid pink that reads consistently between the two stones, and the surface condition has been finished to an excellent polish to ensure crisp facet junctions and strong scintillation. Enhancement is limited to a controlled heat treatment, a common and stable practice that improves tone and uniformity without diminishing the natural origin of the material. The provenance for both stones is Burma, Myanmar, a region with a long history of producing spinel of refined color and clarity.

These two spinels were selected as a pair from a single supply parcel sourced in Burma, Myanmar, a circumstance that contributes directly to their matched appearance. The rough was recovered during a focused collection effort with experienced local partners, and from that same lot two crystals were identified with the potential to form a coherent set following careful cutting. The decision to retain both stones together throughout the cutting and finishing process was intentional, allowing cutter and grader to coordinate facet design and proportions for a harmonious match. Heat treatment was applied in a controlled manner after preforming to stabilize and gently even out color distribution, a step taken with consideration for each stone individually and for the pair as a whole. Because both stones originated from the same parcel, and because they were processed in tandem, their hue, saturation, and tonal response to light remain consistent, a quality that is difficult to reproduce when stones are paired post facto from different sources.

The result is a matched pair that combines thoughtful sourcing, technical cutting, and measured enhancement to produce a practical and elegant offering. The trillion cut accentuates the pink color while providing strong return of light, making these stones well suited to matched settings such as earrings, or to split mountings that benefit from near equal carat weights and dimensions. The clarity, described as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, supports a clean visual field without resorting to overgrading, and the excellent polish ensures predictable performance in fabricated jewelry. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize traceable sourcing and matched gem pairing when assembling sets, and this pair exemplifies that approach. Each stone is documented with its weight, dimensions, origin, clarity assessment, color intensity, cut form, polish grade, and enhancement status, providing the information necessary for informed mounting and long term care. These spinels are ready to be set into an heirloom design or a contemporary composition, and they retain the natural story of being cut from a single parcel in Burma, Myanmar, a detail that enhances their collectible and aesthetic value.
