1.40 Ct. Pinkish Purple Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present a beautiful transparent 1.40 carat cushion shape pinkish purple spinel, with exact dimensions of 6.79 x 5.58 x 4.00 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize scintillation and face up color. This gem exhibits intense color intensity and an excellent polish, with a clarity grading of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. There is no enhancement, and its provenance is Burma Myanmar, a source renowned for producing some of the finest spinels in the market. For an educated buyer the combination of intense natural color, transparent body tone, precise mixed brilliant faceting and untreated origin is highly desirable, because it promises strong light return and stable, natural hue, while preserving material authenticity. The very slightly included clarity ensures that light travels freely through the stone, enhancing brilliance without visible distractions, and the excellent polish means facet junctions are clean, improving both apparent size and sparkle. The cushion outline paired with mixed brilliant faceting offers a classical silhouette with contemporary fire, a balance appreciated by connoisseurs looking for both aesthetic and investment qualities.

Color wise this pinkish purple spinel is exceptionally versatile when set in jewelry, it shifts slightly with light so it can flatter a wide range of skin tones. On fair complexions the gem reads as a soft romantic pink with cool undertones, providing an elegant, refined look. On warm or olive skin tones the subtle purple component creates a complementary contrast, lifting the skin and bringing a fresh lavender nuance that feels modern and sophisticated. On deeper skin tones the intense color presents as rich and saturated, delivering high contrast and strong presence that makes the gem stand out beautifully in evening and daytime settings. Metal choice further tailors the effect, rose gold will enhance the pink facets and create a warm, cohesive feel, yellow gold will emphasize warmth and vintage character, and white gold or platinum will accentuate cooler purple notes for a crisp, contemporary appearance. For settings a classic prong solitaire will maximize light and color play, a halo can increase perceived size and brilliance, and a low bezel offers protection while tempering brilliance for an understated, durable everyday piece. This spinel from The Natural Gemstone Company represents a rare, untreated color and fine craftsmanship that will appeal to collectors and discerning buyers seeking both beauty and provenance.
