1.46 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gems that feel like a secret gently kept in the heart of the earth, and this purplish pink spinel is one of those rare confidences. Weighing 1.46 carat, cut into a radiant shape that catches the light like a memory, this stone measures 8.23 by 5.86 by 3.49 mm, a perfect pocket of color that sits gracefully between subtlety and statement. Its medium color intensity offers a whisper of romance that deepens with every turn, the transparency inviting light to travel through its facets like a soft song. The radiant cut gives it a modern geometry and an old world charm at once, the angles and planes working together to throw back glints of lavender and rose so that the gem seems to pulse with its own gentle life.

What makes this spinel sing with true authenticity is its clarity and purity, a very slightly included stone when evaluated at eye level, with an excellent polish that allows the surface to mirror the soul of the wearer. There is no enhancement applied to this treasure, no heat and no treatment to alter the hue or the heart of the crystal, it arrives to you exactly as the earth shaped it. It comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a land with a history of gemstones as deep as its monsoon sky, and The Natural Gemstone Company has selected it with care from trustworthy sources. We work closely with local miners and cutters who respect the land and the people, and every selection we make is guided by a commitment to responsible sourcing and to the communities that steward these treasures.

For the conscious collector this spinel has a quiet manifesto, it is an object that asks to be worn with intention and remembered with affection. Untreated and honest, it sits beautifully as a centerpiece for an engagement ring, a pendant that rests near the heart, or a bespoke heirloom passed down through small hands and larger hands alike. Its radiant silhouette is versatile with metal choices, pairing like a love poem with warm rose gold to accentuate its pink notes, or with platinum and white gold to bring forth the livelier violet tones in certain lights. The dimensions make it ideal for intimate settings that allow the gemstone to breathe, and the excellent polish ensures every gesture you make will be met by a subtle, shimmering reply from the stone.
