0.95 Ct. Purplish Grey Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

If you have been searching for a truly distinctive centerpiece that combines natural character with refined brilliance, this is the spinel that will end your search. This is a transparent 0.95 carat cushion shaped purplish grey spinel, with precise dimensions of 5.54 by 5.35 by 4.13 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize scintillation and depth. The gem shows a medium color intensity that shifts beautifully with light, and it carries a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the tiny natural features within the stone do not detract from its overall beauty. The polish is excellent, and importantly the gem has no enhancement, so you receive a natural Burmese gemstone with the integrity and provenance collectors and discerning buyers expect. At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that whether you are planning an engagement, designing a collector piece, or creating a one of a kind heirloom, you need a stone that is both exceptional and versatile, and this spinel delivers on both counts.

When you think about setting options for a 0.95 carat cushion spinel, the possibilities open up in every direction, depending on your personal style and lifestyle. The cushion shape and mixed brilliant cut lend themselves superbly to classic solitaire rings, where four or six prongs allow the pavilion facets to catch and return light for maximum sparkle. A halo setting filled with fine white diamonds will elevate the perceived size and create a striking contrast that highlights the purplish grey tones, while a bezel setting will offer a modern, secure profile that enhances durability for daily wear. For those seeking romantic vintage flair, a filigree or milgrain gallery pairs beautifully with the soft cushion outline, creating an antique inspired engagement ring that still reads modern in finish and wearability. The moderate depth of 4.13 mm makes this gem ideal for both protective settings and more open designs like cathedral or tension bands, balancing comfort with visual impact.

Beyond rings, this spinel adapts elegantly to other forms of jewelry that let its subtle color and fire shine. As a pendant, the cushion cut becomes a graceful focal point suspended from a delicate chain, with options for a halo of accent diamonds or a minimalist bezel to suit either formal or everyday wardrobes. For earrings, the stone can be mirrored with a complementary partner to create a matched pair, or it can serve as a center for drop earrings that allow the mixed brilliant facets to sparkle with every movement. Cufflinks or a bespoke men’s signet piece can showcase the dignified purplish grey tone in a masculine, refined design. The spinel also translates well into multi stone compositions, such as three stone rings or cluster pendants, where small side diamonds or colored sapphires accentuate the central cushion without overpowering it. Because the stone has no enhancement and originates from Burma Myanmar, it offers both a story and rarity that make it a compelling choice for collectors and designers alike.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we make customization seamless, so your idea becomes a tangible, wearable work of art. We guide you through metal choices that best complement the purplish grey hue, suggesting platinum or white gold to emphasize cool, modern tones, yellow gold to warm and deepen the stone’s character, or rose gold to add a soft, romantic contrast. We can recommend prong counts and gallery styles to balance security and visibility, and we provide design services including CAD mockups, stone setting options with diamond or colored gemstone accents, and custom engraving to personalize the piece. Our gem specialists can also advise on sizing and comfort, providing recommendations for bezel widths or prong profiles if you lead an active lifestyle. If you prefer a preview, we can supply additional detailed photographs and video, or arrange consultations to discuss design timelines, pricing, and finishing touches such as polishing and warranty.
