1.50 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite transparent pinkish purple spinel, weighing 1.50 carats, is a gemstone that speaks to the long and storied tradition of fine jewelry. Hailing from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for producing stones of exceptional character, this cushion shape gem measures 7.29 x 5.75 x 4.21 mm and is cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances fiery sparkle with soft, classical facets. Its vivid color intensity and excellent polish recall the romantic hues favored by royalty and collectors across the centuries, while its very slightly included clarity as evaluated at eye level preserves an honest, natural presence that collectors and designers prize. With no enhancement, this spinel arrives in its purest state, a gem that carries the authenticity of nature and the legacy of ancient lapidary traditions, ready to become part of a new family history.

For custom jewelry this stone is exceptionally versatile and practical. The cushion shape measures nearly ideal proportions for a ring center, offering a generous face up size that reads larger on the finger than weight alone might suggest, while its 7.29 x 5.75 x 4.21 mm dimensions also lend themselves beautifully to pendants and statement studs. The mixed brilliant cut provides a lively play of light that adapts to both classic and contemporary settings, making it ideal for solitaire designs that emphasize color, halo styles that enhance perceived size and brilliance, and vintage inspired settings that complement the gem s natural charm. Spinel is known for its resilience, suitable for daily wear, which makes this stone a reliable choice for an heirloom piece meant to be worn and cherished. At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand how provenance size and cut influence design choices, and we can guide you through setting options that protect and showcase the stone while honoring its timeless character. Whether you seek a piece that will anchor a legacy collection or a bespoke engagement ring that feels both historic and modern, this Ceylon spinel embodies the tradition and adaptability that bespoke jewelers and discerning clients appreciate.
