At The Natural Gemstone Company we present gemstones that meet both aesthetic standards and ethical expectations, and this spinel embodies that promise. Its oval shape and classic proportions make it an immediately wearable gem, while its mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish deliver a lively play of light that flatters any setting. The gem measures 7.47 x 5.99 x 3.24 mm, a size that translates into a confident presence on the finger without overwhelming everyday wear. The clarity is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone appears clean to the naked eye while retaining natural character.

For those who prioritize how a stone performs in a finished piece, the mixed brilliant cut on this oval spinel has been executed to maximize both brilliance and depth, creating a scintillating surface that catches attention from every angle. The excellent polish enhances light return and fosters crisp facet edges, traits that matter when the gemstone is the centerpiece of an engagement ring or a bespoke pendant. The dimensions 7.47 x 5.99 x 3.24 mm create balanced proportions, so the gem sits comfortably in common ring sizes as a striking solitaire or as the focal point of a halo design. Spinel ranks 8 on the Mohs scale of hardness, which means it offers robust resistance to daily wear, making it a practical as well as beautiful choice for a ring you intend to wear often. The medium intense purple hue is especially flattering against both warm and cool metal tones, allowing you to choose between classic yellow gold, refined rose gold, or contemporary white gold and platinum.
