2.30 Ct. Purple Spinel and Natural Diamond Pave Ring, Platinum 950

This ring is built around a 2.30 carat cushion shaped purple spinel, dimensions 7.35 x 6.13 x 5.33 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant configuration that combines a rounded cushion outline with a brilliant facet pavilion to maximize both color saturation and scintillation. The mixed brilliant approach places larger crown facets to emphasize the vivid purple body color, while the pavilion integrates a brilliant facet pattern to enhance return and live fire, creating a balance between saturated hue and lively brilliance. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, indicating only modest natural inclusions that do not detract from face up transparency, and polish is excellent, producing sharp facet junctions and crisp light performance across the table and crown facets. The specimen is untreated, no enhancement, and its documented origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a classic source for intensely colored spinels, where crystalline formation and trace element chemistry favor strong, vivid purple tones.

Complementing the central spinel are two white cushion shaped brilliant cut natural diamonds with a combined weight of 0.68 carats, clarity VS2 very slightly included, color F near colorless, precision cut to sit as balanced shoulder stones that visually widen the tabletop of the composition without diluting the chromatic strength of the spinel. Fifty two white round brilliant cut natural diamonds totaling 1.30 carats complete the design, clarity VS2, color G near colorless, selected and matched to create a continuous field of scintillation and contrast. The round brilliants are executed in a tight pavé and accent configuration, each stone calibrated for uniform diameter and matched for hue and optical density, set with micro prongs and careful bead setting to minimize metal visibility and maximize diamond face up coverage. Proportions and angles for the brilliants follow modern ideal ranges to optimize crown reflection and pavilion light return, and all cuts are inspected under high magnification to ensure tight girdle consistency and symmetry, contributing to even dispersion and fire across the mounting.

The whole composition is executed in platinum 950, chosen for its tensile strength, resistance to wear, and cool white backdrop that enhances both the purple saturation of the spinel and the near colorless appearance of the diamonds. Construction begins with precision CAD modeling based on the exact dimensions of the 7.35 x 6.13 x 5.33 millimeter center stone, followed by lost wax casting, hand fitting, laser soldering for stress free joins, and final hand finishing including prong burnishing and micro polishing to maintain facet clarity. All diamonds and the spinel are ethically sourced, the center spinel traced to responsibly managed Sri Lankan deposits with documented chain of custody from mine to workshop, and the natural diamonds supplied through channels that comply with international responsible sourcing standards including Kimberley Process aligned practices and independent third party audits. The Natural Gemstone Company maintains direct relationships with miners and cutters where possible, ensuring fair labor practices, contribution to local community programs, and minimal environmental impact through reclamation and reduced footprint mining techniques, and we provide full provenance and gemological documentation upon request. For buyers who demand technical excellence and ethical integrity, this ring delivers measured gemological performance, meticulous craftsmanship, and transparent sourcing, and The Natural Gemstone Company is available to provide bespoke sizing, gem reports, and personalized consultation.
