1.54 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are few gemstones that carry the quiet gravity of spinel, and fewer still that present that presence in a form as disciplined and dignified as this asscher cut stone from the legendary mines of Ceylon, Sri Lanka. For centuries collectors and royalty admired spinel for its rich hues and enduring stability, often mistaking it for more celebrated stones while appreciating the same regal bearing. This 1.54 carat greenish blue spinel speaks directly to that lineage, a gem that feels as though it has been waiting in a treasure trove for the moment someone with a taste for history and a sense of personal style would recognize it. The asscher octagon shape translates that heritage into clean geometry, an architectural facet pattern that has been favored by connoisseurs since the early decades of the twentieth century, and that resonates with those who prize legacy, restraint, and timeless elegance.

Measured precisely at 6.48 x 6.41 x 4.24 millimeters, this transparent spinel is a study in balance and proportion, with a profile that flatters while it commands attention. The asscher cut, with its step facets and hallmark square table, produces a deep, contemplative play of light rather than loud scintillation, allowing the stone to reveal its inner color and clarity with dignity. Clarity is evaluated as eye clean at eye level, which means the gem presents without visible inclusions to the unaided eye, maintaining a pure visual field that enhances the deep greenish blue tone. Color intensity is described as dark, a saturation that conveys seriousness and depth, while the excellent polish ensures smooth facet transitions and crisp facet reflections. This spinel is natural with no enhancement, a pure expression of Ceylon geology, and its proportions and finish make it an ideal candidate for a solitaire ring or a dramatic pendant setting that lets the gem breathe.

The greenish blue hue of this spinel serves as a symbol of personal power and distinction, a color born of the meeting between sea and forest, a shade that suggests deliberation, wisdom, and an unspoken confidence. Wearing a gem like this communicates more than fashion, it announces a connection to history and an affirmation of individuality. The asscher cut amplifies that message, its layered steps evoking classical architecture and the calm order of well considered design. For someone who values legacy, this stone carries the potential to become a family heirloom, a single object that links present and future generations through beauty and meaning. At The Natural Gemstone Company we respect that impulse, and we present this spinel as more than material, we present it as a choice that will mark moments and become part of a life story.

When you consider setting options, imagine this stone center stage in a timeless platinum or white gold mount that will allow the greenish blue depth to radiate from a clean, modern silhouette, or nestled within a vintage inspired halo that references the past while celebrating the stone itself. Because the gem is untreated, its color and clarity will remain steadfast over time, requiring only routine care to preserve its presence. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind our gems and the provenance of each piece, sourcing responsibly from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, where the mineral heritage runs deep and the lapidary traditions are long established. If you seek a gem that speaks of history, carries a bold and considered color, and confers a sense of power and distinction whenever it is worn, this 1.54 carat asscher greenish blue spinel awaits, ready to be set, worn, and remembered.
