0.92 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for an engagement gemstone that brings together rarity, refinement, and everyday wearability, this 0.92 carat cushion shape greyish blue spinel answers the call. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this transparent spinel, a gem that reads as quietly confident and exquisitely original. With dimensions of 5.61 by 5.50 by 3.65 millimeters, the stone sits in a size range that balances presence with elegance, offering the perfect scale for a classic solitaire or a modern halo setting. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes light return, creating scintillation and depth that draw the eye while retaining a soft, romantic character. The faint greyish blue hue is subtle but distinct, lending the stone versatility to pair beautifully with white gold, platinum, or yellow gold, and providing a color story that moves easily from everyday wear to special occasions.

As you imagine this gem at the center of your engagement ring, consider the confidence that comes with a natural, untreated stone. This spinel has no enhancement, which means the color and clarity are wholly natural, and the excellent polish reflects careful lapidary work. The clarity is described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a high clarity grade that reads as clean to the naked eye, ensuring that the gem sparkles without visible blemish. Spinel is a gemstone known for its durability, offering a Mohs hardness around 8, which makes it suitable for the daily wear that an engagement ring should endure. Its toughness means it resists chips and abrasion more readily than many other colored stones, and combined with the skillful cut and polish, the gem is poised to remain a bright, cherished center for years of shared moments.

Choosing a greyish blue spinel for an engagement ring also tells a story about individuality and thoughtful intention. The tone is understated yet memorable, a hue that suggests quiet sophistication rather than trend driven flash. From a design perspective, this stone can be set to emphasize its cushion silhouette and mixed brilliant facets, which create a soft cushion outline with lively internal fire. Consider a low profile four prong setting for a minimalist, modern bride, or a delicate halo of white diamonds for someone who loves a little extra sparkle while maintaining the central personality of the spinel. For an heirloom inspired piece, a bezel or millgrain edge will protect the gem and give a vintage narrative. Our team at The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to advise on the ideal metal and setting to align with your partners lifestyle, personal aesthetic, and the ring silhouette that will be cherished for a lifetime.

Beyond technical details, this spinel is a choice that aligns with values many couples seek in an engagement ring purchase. Its origin in Ceylon Sri Lanka connects it to a storied gem producing region, and the fact that it is natural and unenhanced speaks to authenticity. The faint greyish blue color is rare enough to be distinctive, yet neutral enough to complement any wardrobe and skin tone. At 0.92 carat, the gem has a presence that photographs beautifully, and the images show how it sits gracefully on the hand, offering luminous reflections and a compelling center of attention.
