1.11 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A rare and refined treasure, this transparent 1.11 carat oval spinel from Ceylon Sri Lanka embodies the quiet confidence of true luxury. From the first glimpse, the pinkish purple hue arrests the eye with a satiny, sophisticated presence that is equal parts feminine and commanding. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this gem as a statement of discerning taste, a jewel that speaks of thoughtful curation and timeless elegance. In hand and on the finger it reads as an achievement, a subtle declaration that the wearer appreciates not only beauty but provenance, and the rare privilege of owning a gemstone that is wholly natural, untouched by enhancement.

The proportions of this stone are exceptional for a single stone statement piece, with dimensions of 7.32 x 5.18 x 3.91 mm that translate into a confident visual footprint without exaggeration. The oval silhouette is inherently flattering, offering an elongated, graceful profile that complements the anatomy of the hand and the sweep of a neckline when set as a pendant. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies every photon that enters the stone, orchestrating a scintillating display of light and depth, while the excellent polish renders each facet with crisp, mirror like surfaces. These attributes together make this spinel ideal for a central setting, where its presence is allowed to dominate the composition and draw all attention.

Clarity elevates this gem beyond mere color, and the grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, is the hallmark of a stone with rare internal serenity. Viewed in typical lighting the spinel remains transparent and luminous, the very very slight inclusions serving only to authenticate its natural origin and to lend character rather than detract from brilliance. The medium light color intensity permits a graceful interplay between saturation and airiness, ensuring the pinkish purple tone reads as elegant and wearable, yet unmistakably unique. With no enhancement of any kind, this spinel offers the pure pleasure of an unaltered natural gemstone, a quality that collectors and connoisseurs prize above all.

For the bespoke jeweler or the private client seeking a piece that will be admired and adored for decades, this spinel provides a rare combination of size, clarity and color that makes a definitive design statement. In a solitaire ring the oval form will sit like a signature upon the hand, its mixed brilliant facets catching light at every gesture, creating moments of brilliance that feel personal and dramatic. As a pendant the gem will fall with grace, its medium light pinkish purple suffusing the skin beneath with a soft, flattering glow. Paired with platinum for a modern, minimalist expression, or with warm yellow gold for a classical, heirloom aesthetic, the stone adapts to a spectrum of visions while remaining always the focal point.
