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

This matched pair of pink spinels offers a rare combination of precise proportions, intense color, and exceptional clarity, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. The two stones weigh 1.43 carats and 1.46 carats respectively, and are fashioned in an elegant emerald cut that emphasizes transparency and color depth. Their measured proportions are 6.50 by 6.03 by 4.16 millimeters, and 6.53 by 6.03 by 4.26 millimeters, reflecting a near perfect symmetry that is essential for high quality matched pairs. The gems exhibit intense color intensity, a lively pink hue with subtle depth that remains vivid under a variety of lighting conditions. The polish has been graded as excellent, so facet junctions and table reflections are crisp, allowing the stones to display their internal color and brilliance without distraction.

From a clarity and treatment perspective these spinels are particularly noteworthy, with a clarity grade evaluated as very, very slightly included at eye level. In practical terms this means the stones are effectively eye clean, possessing only minute internal characteristics that do not interfere with the visual appeal or structural integrity. Spinel is a durable gem species, and these examples benefit from the species inherent toughness and a hardness suitable for daily wear. The pair has received standard heat treatment, a widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies color without compromising durability. Originating from Burma, Myanmar, these spinels come from one of the most respected sources for colored stones, where geological conditions have produced historically significant and richly colored spinels and rubies. The combination of Burmese origin, intense color, eye level clarity, and superior finish makes this pair especially desirable to collectors and connoisseurs who prioritize provenance and natural quality.

When comparing this pair to famous gemstone pairs in the world, their balanced matching and color saturation recall the regal quality of historic Burmese spinels that have appeared in important collections and museum displays. While renowned single spinels like the Timur Ruby are celebrated for their size and history, matched pairs of this caliber are rare and sought after for fine jewellery applications and museum grade sets. The careful matching of weight, dimensions, and color in this pair evokes the symmetry of notable paired gemstones used in royal earrings and bracelets, where uniformity and consistent optical performance are paramount. For the educated buyer who assesses gemstones by cut quality, origin, and clarity, these spinels represent the sort of pair that could sit comfortably alongside other high quality matched gemstones in a curated collection, or serve as the focal point of a bespoke jewellery commission.

For practical and investment minded considerations this pair is an excellent acquisition. The emerald cut is ideal for showing clarity and for minimizing the visual impact of any very minor inclusions, while the intense pink color commands attention without appearing overstated. The heat treatment applied is stable and routine in the trade, and it enhances the color in a way that aligns with market expectations for premium spinel. The close match in weight and dimensions makes these stones especially suitable for matched earrings, cufflinks, or a twin set in a necklace, and the Burmese origin adds an important layer of provenance that experienced buyers recognize as contributing to long term value. At The Natural Gemstone Company we assess each pair for matching, optical performance, and treatment disclosure, and we present these spinels as a technically superior and visually compelling matched pair that will meet the standards of collectors, designers, and discerning private clients.
