When you are searching for a gemstone that combines wearable beauty with collector appeal, this 0.83 carat oval greenish blue spinel from Ceylon answers that need precisely. Measuring 5.70 by 5.30 by 3.71 millimeters, its proportions are ideal for a refined engagement ring or a centerpiece for a bespoke pendant. The mixed brilliant cut gives lively sparkle and excellent face up presence, while the excellent polish ensures light dances freely across the surface. At an eye level clarity grade of very very slightly included, the stone appears clean to the naked eye, offering both visual purity and durable structure. Because it is completely unenhanced, this spinel carries the premium that knowledgeable collectors and discerning buyers prefer, and because it comes from Sri Lanka, it benefits from a provenance renowned for producing some of the world’s most attractive and marketable spinels.

For someone planning an engagement ring, this gemstone offers a winning combination. The greenish blue hue has a modern, elegant character that complements warm and cool metals alike, and its medium intense color intensity provides a depth of tone without appearing overly dark in typical lighting. The oval shape is flattering on the hand, and the dimensions are versatile enough to be set in classic solitaire, halo, or three stone configurations. As a piece intended to be worn every day, spinel’s excellent toughness compared with some other colored stones makes it a practical choice, and the stone’s unenhanced condition means you will not have to worry about treatments that could react to routine cleaning or sudden temperature changes. With The Natural Gemstone Company guiding the design and setting process, you can be confident that the final piece will balance brilliance, durability, and timeless style.

Beyond immediate beauty, this spinel represents a compelling investment opportunity. Spinel has attracted growing attention from collectors and investors who are seeking alternatives to more traditional investment gems. Market dynamics favor high quality, untreated stones from well known origins, and this Ceylon spinel fits those criteria. Supply remains relatively limited for fine spinels of desirable colors, especially ones that display a greenish blue tone and are unenhanced. As demand rises among connoisseurs and as more collectors look beyond mainstream gemstones like sapphire and ruby, rare, well cut spinels have shown consistent appreciation relative to entry level stones. Buying a stone with excellent polish, fine proportions, and minimal visible inclusions positions you to benefit from long term market trends while also enjoying immediate aesthetic satisfaction.

To protect and enhance future appreciation, thoughtful stewardship is important. We recommend retaining documentation and provenance provided by The Natural Gemstone Company, and obtaining an independent appraisal if you plan to hold the stone as an investment. Presentation matters, so have the spinel set professionally with secure mounting that allows light to reach the pavilion and crown, maximizing its sparkle and marketability. Routine care is simple, please avoid harsh chemicals and abrupt temperature changes, and clean with mild soap warm water and a soft brush. If you wish to optimize liquidity in the future, consider labeling the stone clearly as unenhanced and Ceylon origin, with high resolution images and the exact measurements of 5.70 by 5.30 by 3.71 millimeters, and the documented 0.83 carat weight and mixed brilliant cut.
