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

This pair of purplish pink cushion spinels from Ceylon, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, presents a balanced, transparent match suitable for a variety of fine jewelry applications. The individual stones weigh 1.68 carats and 1.67 carats, and measure 7.31 x 5.93 x 4.57 mm and 7.27 x 5.88 x 4.62 mm respectively. Each gem is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut with excellent polish, producing lively facet return and consistent visual performance. Clarity is graded as eye clean at typical viewing distance, and color is described as medium intensity purplish pink, which responds well to light and mounting choices. These spinels are untreated with no enhancement, and their Sri Lankan origin contributes to their gemstone character and traceable provenance.

As a matching pair, these stones are well suited to become a coordinated set of heirlooms that can be passed down across generations. The near identical weights and dimensions support symmetrical designs such as a pair of stud earrings, a matched double ring, or complementary pendants, and their durable spinel composition, with a Mohs hardness of eight, makes them appropriate for regular wear while retaining the option for careful custodial use. The combination of transparency, stable color, and excellent polish means the pair will present consistently when set, which is an important attribute for items intended to maintain a familial or sentimental continuity. For preservation, routine cleaning with warm, soapy water and a soft brush is recommended, avoiding harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to extreme heat, and archival documentation of origin and treatment status will assist future custodians in understanding the gems provenance. When commissioning settings or choosing storage, consider matched metal and setting depth to preserve the visual alignment of these cushion shapes.

These spinels exemplify the properties sought in enduring gemstone heirlooms, offering a coherent visual pairing, durable material characteristics, and clear documentation of natural origin and lack of enhancement. The Natural Gemstone Company can provide further details on setting recommendations, care, and provenance documentation to support the transition of these stones from an acquisition into a preserved, generational collection.
