1.31 Ct. Pinkish Purple Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a single stone that ends the hunt for a memorable engagement ring, a striking custom pendant, or a standout collector piece, this 1.31 carat pinkish purple spinel answers that need with confidence and grace. Transparent and lively, the gem presents a rich, intense color that reads as a beautiful balance between pink and violet, a hue that flatters skin tones and pairs beautifully with both warm and cool metals. Cut into a classic round shape with a mixed brilliant faceting scheme, the stone offers the scintillation and fire you want from a centerpiece gem, while maintaining a refined elegance that complements minimalist and elaborate settings alike. The clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, which means the gem is transparent and visually pleasing when set, and the excellent polish ensures every facet reflects light crisply, making the color and sparkle consistently appealing from every angle.

The dimensions make this spinel especially ideal for custom jewelry projects, measuring 5.88 by 5.89 by 5.07 millimeters, proportions that translate into a perfect presence on the finger or in a pendant without overwhelming the design. At 1.31 carats, the stone is substantial enough to command attention as a solitaire, while remaining versatile enough for halo settings, three stone designs, and delicate bezel mounts. The true round shape and mixed brilliant cut allow bench jewelers to set the stone in classic four prong arrangements for maximum light return, or to secure it in a low profile bezel for everyday wear and active lifestyles. Because of its balanced diameter and depth, the gem integrates seamlessly into existing designs, or serves as the starting point for a bespoke commission where proportions and metal choices can be tailored precisely to your vision.

Beyond beauty and size, this spinel delivers on natural quality and peace of mind, it is unenhanced, and free from treatments, so the color and clarity you see are the gem itself. Originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, the stone carries provenance from one of the most respected traditional sources for fine spinel, which adds narrative and value to any custom piece.
