Welcome to the fascinating world of gemstones, where each gem tells a unique story, and today we have an intriguing narrative carved into the form of a 0.53-carat blue spinel from the exotic mines of Ceylon, Sri Lanka. With precision in every facet, this transparent cushion-shaped gem, measuring 5.54 x 4.27 x 2.49 mm, embodies the apex of natural beauty and artisanal skill.

The mixed cut adds not just charm but also enhances brilliance, ensuring that every turn of your head sends cascading sparkles, enough to make disco balls blush in embarrassment.
The clarity grade of "very slightly included" means you might need a Sherlock Holmes-sized magnifying glass to locate those teensy-weensy imperfections.

And let’s not forget the polish, graded as excellent, meaning it's shinier than a new car, guaranteeing you're the gleaming envy of the room every time you sport this beauty.
