1.11 Ct. Purplish Pink Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

One beautiful transparent 1.11 carat cushion shape purplish pink spinel, measuring 6.27 by 6.09 by 3.56 millimeters, presents a textbook example of balanced proportions and expert cutting. The mixed brilliant cut combines a brilliant style crown with a stepped pavilion to optimize both return of light and internal brilliance, creating lively scintillation as the stone moves. The table is well calibrated to the crown height, and the pavilion facet architecture preserves depth of color while maximizing light performance. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, with only minimal, well healed inclusions that do not interrupt face up transparency, allowing uninterrupted passage of light through the body of the gem. Color is intense with a clear purplish pink hue and even saturation across the girdle, the polish is excellent, and there has been no enhancement, confirming natural origin from Burma Myanmar. This combination of precision faceting, superior polish, and untreated origin is exactly the standard of material The Natural Gemstone Company selects for discerning collectors.

The 1.11 carat weight and the clean, transparent presentation make this spinel ideal for a statement piece, whether as a center stone in a solitaire ring, a bold pendant, or a showpiece cocktail ring. At these dimensions the gem reads larger on the finger and in profile, and the mixed brilliant design emphasizes both sparkle and color, ensuring visual presence without overwhelming proportion. For settings, open gallery and four prong treatments will maximize light entry and display the intense purplish pink, while a finely executed halo can enhance perceived size and add contrast to the strong color. Spinel offers notable wearability with excellent durability for daily wear, and the absence of enhancement enhances long term desirability for collectors and jewelers alike. This spinel is a natural statement gem that combines technical excellence and visual impact, and it is available through The Natural Gemstone Company.
