1.07 Ct. Orangish Red Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

If you are searching for a central stone that finally ends your quest for something both rare and wearable, this gem answers that need directly. This is one beautiful transparent 1.07 carat cushion shape orangish red spinel from Burma, with exact dimensions of 6.07 x 5.97 x 3.62 mm, a mixed brilliant cut, very slightly included clarity as evaluated at eye level, intense color intensity, and an excellent polish. There is no enhancement, which is a critical distinction for collectors and clients who want absolute assurance of natural color and structure. At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that the right gemstone must do more than look good in a photograph. It must speak to your intention, whether that intention is an engagement ring that is out of the ordinary, a one of a kind piece for daily wear, or a museum quality addition to a private collection.

What sets this spinel apart is the combination of size and color that is rarely found together. Spinels in intense orangish red tones are themselves uncommon, and stones of this weight that carry such saturation without heavy inclusions are even rarer. Many spinels on the market will be smaller, paler, or treated to intensify their color. This Burmese example is naturally vivid, showing a warm and dynamic interplay between deep orange and true red, which creates a lively, almost fiery presence when viewed face up, while maintaining a rich depth from the pavilion. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes scintillation and light return, giving lively flashes of brightness that accent the gem without compromising the deep core color. Because it is untreated, this gem offers provenance and purity that discerning clients value, especially those seeking an heirloom piece that will be treasured and inherited.

For engagement ring seekers and collectors alike this spinel is a perfect solution. The cushion shape is timeless and flattering on the finger, and at 1.07 carat it reads with presence while remaining elegantly wearable. The stone sits well in a variety of settings, and I recommend settings that allow light to access the pavilion, such as four prong or low bezel styles, to maximize the mixed brilliant cut performance. Metal choices can subtly influence the perception of color, with warm tones like yellow and rose gold enhancing the orange facets, and white metals bringing out the pure red depth. Spinel is robust for everyday wear, and with the very slightly included clarity grade and excellent polish, this gem is ready to become a daily companion or a centerpiece for a special project. If you need a stone for a bespoke ring, a pendant, or to round out a curated cabinet of gems, this item closes the search in a way that many other options cannot.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we pride ourselves on sourcing stones that satisfy both the emotional and technical needs of our clients, and this orangish red Burmese spinel is an excellent example. Its rarity in both size and natural, intense color makes it a limited opportunity, and we are happy to provide additional images, detailed viewing notes, and consultation on settings and certification.
