1.08 Ct. Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

Imagine holding a drop of sunset in the palm of your hand, a red so alive it seems to hum with warmth and memory. This is the feeling that greets you when you meet the beautiful transparent, Other certified, red spinel offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. At 1.08 carat this exquisite oval is the perfect statement of refined passion, a gem that balances presence with wearability. Its vivid color intensity draws the eye like a secret kept close to the heart, and the mixed brilliant cut makes the surface sing with flashes of red fire when it catches the light. For anyone who treasures the power of a single stone to make a moment unforgettable, this spinel is an invitation to create a custom piece that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Careful collectors and imaginative designers will appreciate the precise proportions and gemological integrity that make this spinel so special. The dimensions of 6.70 x 5.11 x 3.86 mm give the oval a delightful versatility, large enough to command attention as a solitaire or pendant, and compact enough to sit elegantly within a halo or three stone design. The clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that to the unaided eye the gem reads as pure and luminous, with tiny natural characteristics that affirm its authenticity rather than distract from its beauty. The excellent polish enhances the polished facets and allows light to travel through the stone with minimal obstruction, while the absence of any enhancement demonstrates a wholly natural origin and uncompromised character. Born in Burma Myanmar, this spinel carries the storied provenance of classic Asian sources, a touch that adds depth and romance to any bespoke creation.

When you are planning a custom jewelry piece, the oval shape and those exact measurements become a designer friendly dream. The slightly elongated silhouette of the 6.70 by 5.11 mm oval flatters the finger when set in a ring, it elongates the hand in the most graceful way, and it centers beautifully in a balanced pendant where the 3.86 mm depth ensures a strong pavilion without overwhelming the setting. The mixed brilliant cut offers a combination of scintillation and depth that works wonderfully under both prong and bezel settings, so you can choose a classic four or six prong mounting to maximize sparkle, or opt for a protective bezel to keep the spinel safe during everyday wear. For those who love drama, a delicate halo of smaller white stones will make the vivid red glow even more intense, while designers seeking subtle sophistication will find that a simple solitaire setting lets the color and cut speak for themselves. The size makes matching with complementary stones straightforward, for example side baguettes, tapered traps, or small diamond accents will enhance the central oval without stealing its stage.

Beyond technical compatibility, this gem is a story waiting to be translated into jewelry that will stir the heart every time it is worn. Imagine this Burmese red spinel set as an engagement stone, conveying a commitment that is as warm and steady as its color. Picture it as a gift to mark a milestone, mounted in a custom pendant that becomes a daily embrace against the skin, or imagined as a pair of stud earrings that catch fire across a smile. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present stones that inspire emotional connections, and we stand ready to help translate your vision into the perfect bespoke piece. Because this spinel is natural, untreated, and impeccably finished, every setting choice preserves the integrity of the gem while elevating the story you wish to tell, whether that story is one of celebration, remembrance, or the pure joy of giving something unforgettable.
