1.01 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This is a singular opportunity to own a remarkable, transparent blue spinel sourced from the legendary gem fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka, offered exclusively by The Natural Gemstone Company. We present one beautiful cushion shape blue spinel weighing 1.01 carat, with precise dimensions of 5.86 x 5.81 x 4.03 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize both scintillation and depth. This gem displays a refined medium light color intensity that reads as a sophisticated, cool blue, balanced with subtle steel undertones that change gently with light, and it is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, ensuring a clean, visually pure appearance to the unaided eye. The polish is excellent, the transparency is pristine, and importantly, the stone is free of any enhancement, untouched and wholly natural in every sense. Such a combination of origin, clarity, and untreated authenticity is rare, creating an instant heirloom that stands apart from mass produced stones, a private treasure for those who appreciate provenance and natural character.

Imagine this 1.01 carat cushion spinel transformed into a bespoke jewelry masterpiece, conceived to suit your personal style and the exact demands of your design vision. In a classic solitaire ring, its cushion silhouette and mixed brilliant facets will play with light across a refined prong setting, elevating brilliance and creating the timeless focal point sought by connoisseurs. Nestled within a halo of melee diamonds, the spinel will appear larger, with the halo framing its subtle blue notes while enhancing fire and presence, ideal for an engagement ring with quiet, elegant drama. A low, protective bezel will emphasize the gem s modern, architectural appeal, while a vintage inspired filigree mount will bring out its romantic, old world charm. For an elevated contemporary statement, consider a tension mount that showcases the gem as if floating, or a three stone arrangement that pairs this spinel with two tapered side gems for balanced sophistication. As a pendant, the cushion cut lends itself to both simple hangers that highlight clarity, and to ornate pendants where small accent stones and custom metalwork create a wearable centrepiece. Matched pairs for drop earrings can be designed to mirror each other, or the stone can be set as a single, bold stud that commands attention. Beyond jewelry, this spinel is perfect for bespoke cufflinks, a seal ring, or a custom brooch, each setting reinforcing the gem s individuality.

Customization is where rarity becomes personal, and our design process at The Natural Gemstone Company is tailored to make you part of a select group who commission truly unique pieces. Choose your metal from platinum, white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold, each option altering the blue tone and overall character of the gem, and select finishes that range from high polished brilliance to hand brushed matte for a contemporary contrast. We consult on setting depth and girdle protection, to preserve the stone s excellent polish and clarity, and we advise on facet orientation and crown height to maximize return of light in the selected design. Accent stones can be diamonds for classic contrast, or colored sapphires and spinels for tonal harmony, and we provide guideline options for carat weight and cut of accents so the final composition meets your vision. For clients who desire absolute confidence before production, we offer CAD renderings and wax models, allowing you to visualize scale and proportion on your hand, or to test how the blue hue interacts with different metal tones and accent stones.

Ownership of this cushion blue spinel is limited to a discerning few, and we extend our personalized service to ensure the gem is set, protected, and presented to become a lifelong emblem of distinction. Each purchase is accompanied by full disclosure of origin, cut, dimensions, clarity assessment noted as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, color intensity, and confirmation of no enhancement, and we can arrange an independent gem report on request. We also provide bespoke engraving, secure insured shipping, and lifetime guidance on care and maintenance, ensuring the gem retains its beauty for generations.
