1.41 Ct. Purple Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite cushion shape purple spinel weighs 1.41 carats, measuring 7.22 by 5.92 by 4.06 millimeters, a perfectly balanced gem that sits with poise and presence. Transparent and alive, its mixed brilliant faceted cutting style was executed to maximize scintillation and depth while maintaining a refined silhouette that flatters both classic and contemporary settings. The color is vivid, a rare and saturated purple that shifts subtly in different lights, a tone that reads as regal without ever feeling ostentatious. Clarity is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which allows the gem to retain a luminous purity while offering a natural signature that confirms its authenticity. The polish is excellent, each facet meeting with precision and a mirror finish that enhances the spinel s inherent brilliance. Origin matters, and this gem comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance that carries a long and storied history for the most desirable gemstones. There has been no enhancement, no treatment, so what you see is the stone as formed by earth and time, a rare unaltered beauty.

Owning a gem like this is an invitation to join a small circle of collectors and connoisseurs who understand the value of genuine rarity.

Imagine this cushion spinel set into a bespoke ring, a pendant, or as the central stone in an heirloom piece that will be passed down through generations.

For collectors seeking an uncompromised natural spinel, for lovers of color who want something unique and sincere, this gem is a quiet yet unmistakable declaration of refined taste.
