1.17 Ct. Bluish Purple Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional cushion shape spinel is a rare opportunity to own a naturally vivid bluish purple gem sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, presented to discerning clients by The Natural Gemstone Company. Weighing 1.17 carats, with precise dimensions of 5.81 by 5.71 by 4.38 millimeters, this transparent stone displays an intense color intensity and a mixed brilliant cut that balances lively brilliance with a classic cushion silhouette. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means a clean visual face up presentation that speaks to its natural integrity and enduring beauty. The polish is excellent, with faceting that returns flashes of violet and blue as the light shifts, and the stone is completely natural with no enhancement, a trait that further enhances its rarity and appeal to collectors who prize authenticity.

For a bespoke setting that elevates this spinel into an heirloom, consider pairing it with complementary gemstones that intensify its noble hue and highlight its exclusivity. A delicate halo of small brilliant cut white diamonds in platinum or white gold will lift the bluish purple tone and create a luminous field of contrast, ideal for a ring or pendant that reads as both modern and timeless. For a warmer, more vintage expression, place the spinel in a rose gold bezel with tiny cognac or champagne diamonds flanking each shoulder, which will draw out the purple blue and add a sumptuous, antique inspired glow. For color harmony and depth, pair it with soft pink sapphires or subtle lavender sapphires as side stones for a graduated, tonal collar that feels curated and unique. For a bold couture statement, consider accenting the spinel with small deep blue sapphires or tanzanite melee to create a layered blue spectrum, perfect for a bespoke cocktail ring or an articulated bracelet. Each combination can be handcrafted to your exact specifications, making the final piece a limited and personal expression of luxury. As with every gem we offer, The Natural Gemstone Company will assist in the design process to ensure that this one of a kind Ceylon spinel becomes an exclusive jewel that belongs only to an elite few.
