1.00 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.00 carat heart shape blue spinel presents precise proportions at 6.17 x 6.87 x 3.58 mm, cut to a mixed brilliant faceting scheme that balances scintillation and table brightness. The gem displays a medium light blue color intensity that reads as cool and elegant under both natural and artificial lighting, and its polish is graded excellent, producing sharp facet junctions and lively reflections. Clarity is described as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which results in an appearance that is effectively clean to the unaided eye and free of distraction in typical jewelry settings. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, no enhancement, and the stone’s transparency and cut quality allow light to penetrate and return with notable clarity and color fidelity.

The combination of exceptional surface finish and an effectively eye clean clarity enhances the gem’s beauty from every viewing angle. The mixed brilliant cut concentrates mirror like facets on the pavilion and a well proportioned crown, which together create both depth and controlled flash. As the stone rotates, the medium light blue hue remains saturated yet luminous, and the fine polish sustains crisp optical boundaries that emphasize contrast between light and dark facets. The heart outline is symmetrical and well defined, providing a refined silhouette that suits solitaire settings and more complex designs, while the modest size and 1.00 carat weight translate to comfortable everyday wear without compromising presence. Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this spinel embodies the balance of natural origin, precise cutting, and uncompromised finishing, attributes that make its visual cleanliness and facet architecture deliver consistent beauty from every angle.
