1.13 Ct. Spinel from Tanzania

One exquisite oval pink spinel awaits the connoisseur who understands that true luxury is measured in substance as well as beauty, a gem where weight and color combine to create a singular statement of refinement. This transparent gem weighs 1.13 carats, a truly distinguished weight for a pink spinel, offering both presence and practicality for the most elegant jewelry designs. At 6.49 by 5.32 by 4.26 mm this oval sits poised to command attention, its dimensions balanced to flatter an array of settings while preserving the gemological proportions that allow light to play within. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize fire and scintillation, while the excellent polish provides a surface that reflects light with the soft, luminous glow that discerning collectors prize. Originating from Tanzania and offered with no enhancement, this spinel presents a pure and honest expression of nature, an unaltered color and clarity that few gems of this caliber can match.

The weight of 1.13 carats is more than a number, it is the defining attribute that elevates this stone from pretty to prized. In the rarefied world of pink spinel, where richly saturated hues are often found in small specimens, surpassing the one carat mark transforms the gem into a rarity that appeals to both connoisseurs and investors. Carat weight drives rarity and value exponentially in fine colored gemstones, and a clean, transparent stone of this weight and intensity is a scarce find. Because the gem is transparent and evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, the 1.13 carat mass yields a depth and brilliance that smaller stones cannot replicate, delivering a visual impact that translates directly into both emotional and market worth. For collectors who prize provenance and natural purity, this weight affirms the stone as an achievement, a measured proof of status and taste that bespeaks deliberate acquisition rather than casual purchase.

Color, clarity, and cut work in concert to honor the importance of the carat weight, and this spinel’s intense color intensity is the heart of its allure. The vivid pink tone reads as lively and sophisticated, neither overly sweet nor austere, but precisely balanced to flatter the skin and to resonate with fine metals. The clarity grade of very slightly included, assessed at eye level, assures that the gem reads clean to the viewer, letting the 1.13 carat weight shine through without visible distractions, while the mixed brilliant faceting pattern scatters light across the pavilion and crown to create a luxurious scintillation. Excellent polish enhances every facet junction, so the stone communicates refinement with every turn. Because this spinel is natural and untreated, its color and clarity are authentic expressions of its Tanzanian origin, and its unenhanced status enhances its rarity and market appeal, especially in a category where treatments are common.

To possess this 1.13 carat oval pink spinel is to claim a small but unmistakable victory in the pursuit of fine things, a gem that announces refined taste with modest confidence and undeniable beauty. Whether set as the centerpiece of a bespoke ring, entrusted to a delicate pendant, or held as an asset in a discerning collection, it becomes an heirloom that speaks of thoughtful acquisition.
