0.35 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Introducing a stunning gem from The Natural Gemstone Company, this transparent 0.35 carat oval-shaped blue spinel exudes elegance and precision in every facet. With dimensions of 4.61 x 3.78 x 2.71 mm, it is a beautifully compact stone that manages to showcase remarkable detail and brilliance. The spinel features a mixed brilliant cut, a choice that enhances its natural beauty by maximizing light reflection, which results in an exquisite display of sparkle and luminance.

The clarity grade is evaluated as eye clean, which signifies that the gem does not present any inclusions visible to the naked eye. This grade underscores the purity and high quality of the stone, rendering it a superb choice for those who seek the assurance of an unblemished gem. The medium intense color intensity is another notable characteristic of this blue spinel, offering a balanced and captivating hue that is neither too pale nor too overpowering. This allows the stone to maintain its aesthetic appeal without overwhelming other elements in a jewelry design.

Originating from Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, this stone is part of a long heritage of exceptional gem production. Sri Lanka has long been respected for its mineral wealth, producing gemstones known for their purity and diverse colors. The provenance of this spinel assures buyers of its aptitude for quality and authenticity. Adding further to its allure is its excellent polish, providing the stone's surface with an impeccable finish that enhances both its lustrous appearance and tactile smoothness, making it ideal for fine jewelry.

When considering creating a custom piece, this blue spinel's charm can be beautifully complemented by a variety of gemstones. For a serene and harmonious ensemble, pairing it with white diamonds can highlight its brilliance and clarity. The contrast between the fiery sparkle of diamonds and the calming blue of the spinel creates a visually arresting piece. Alternatively, combining it with other colored gemstones such as yellow sapphires or pink tourmalines can introduce a striking chromatic harmony, playing on the contrast of colors that enriches the piece's overall visual narrative.

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we understand that crafting a custom piece is a personal and distinctive journey. The selection of the accompanying gemstones will depend on the desired emotional tone and the symbolism the piece is meant to convey. Whether the aim is to enhance an aesthetic delight or to convey specific sentiments through color symbolism, the combination of stones should always complement and enhance the primary blue spinel. In crafting fine jewelry, the overarching goal remains to elevate the natural grace of each gem, ensuring a timeless creation that speaks both beauty and quality.
