0.85 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the bedrock of Ceylon to the careful hands that shaped it, this pink spinel has traveled a story worth wearing. Formed over millions of years in Sri Lankan metamorphic rocks, it was discovered as a clear crystal that carried the gentle memory of the island in its tone. The medium light pink hue speaks of trace elements and the slow chemistry of the earth, a color that reads as both tender and lively depending on light and angle. We at The Natural Gemstone Company selected this 0.85 carat pear shaped gem for its transparency and its natural character, one that lets you feel the place from which it came. With dimensions of 8.26 x 5.23 x 2.94 mm and no enhancement, this spinel arrives as an honest expression of nature, its slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level serving as the gemstone s natural fingerprint, a proof of origin rather than a flaw.

The stone s journey continued under the skillful eye of a master cutter, where the mixed brilliant cut was chosen to coax the most life and emotion from the crystal. The pear shape was embraced for its timeless elegance and its ability to elongate and flatter, while the mixed brilliant facet arrangement balances scintillation and depth. Each facet was executed with an excellent polish, so that every surface reads clean and reflective. This superior polish and precise symmetry create a visual effect that often reads as flawless to the eye, a seamless interplay of light across facets that enhances the gem s presence from every vantage. Under direct light the pavilion and crown interplay to throw back flashes of pink and white fire, and at softer angles the stone offers a gentle glow that seems to come from within. The slight inclusions that give the spinel its clarity grade sit quietly, often invisible when the gem is set, and they lend authenticity and provenance that machine perfect specimens cannot provide.

In its final incarnation the gem becomes wearable history, a unique centerpiece that asks to be set, worn, and passed on. On the hand it shows as a sweet and sophisticated focal point, the pear silhouette complementing both modern and vintage settings.
