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

These two Burmese wonders began their story deep within the metamorphic layers of Myanmar, where heat and pressure coaxed aluminum and oxygen into one of nature’s most charismatic gemstones, the spinel. At The Natural Gemstone Company we trace each stone’s origin with respect and curiosity, imagining the slow, patient crystallization that gave rise to their rich purple hue. Unearthed and sorted by expert hands, these spinels were chosen for their transparency and natural vibrancy, untouched by treatments or enhancements, a pure expression of geological art. The pair, weighing 1.99 carats and 2.01 carats respectively, retain a distinct harmony, their dimensions of 9.06 x 6.03 x 3.83 mm and 8.99 x 6.04 x 3.81 mm revealing a near mirror symmetry that foretells the balance they will bring to a custom pair of earrings.

From raw crystal to refined gem, the journey continues in the lapidary studio where master cutters shaped these stones into elegant emerald cuts to emphasize their clarity and color. With an eye clean clarity grade evaluated at eye level, and an intense color intensity that shifts subtly with light, each faceted plane reflects a calm depth rather than flashy fire, an understated elegance heightened by an excellent polish. Because these spinels are unenhanced and natural, their purple tones are authentic and enduring, ideal for clients who value provenance and purity. For custom earrings, their matching sizes and complementary carat weights make them perfect candidates for a variety of designs, from classic four-prong settings in white gold or platinum that accentuate the cool violet tones, to halo styles that introduce a ring of diamonds for contrast and brilliance. For those seeking a modern aesthetic, bezel or tension settings will showcase the clean geometry of the emerald cut, while drop or stud compositions can play with metal and texture to frame the stones’ quiet authority. At The Natural Gemstone Company we delight in pairing these spinels with design suggestions and custom sketches, helping you transform their geological journey into a wearable story that begins in Burma and ends as a treasured, personal pair of earrings.
