1.60 Ct. Spinel from Tanzania

One beautiful transparent 1.60 carat cushion shape pink spinel commands attention from the moment it catches the light, a gem whose measured proportions of 7.76 x 6.02 x 4.03 mm allow it to sit with quiet authority in any setting, a singular expression of refined taste. Meticulously fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut, this spinel balances the crisp faceting of a modern cutter with the rounded elegance of a classic cushion silhouette, achieving a play of light that is both lively and sophisticated. The clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, confirms a near pristine window into the gem, letting the medium intense pink color radiate without obstruction, while an excellent polish amplifies each flash of brilliance and each subtle shift of hue. Untreated and entirely natural, this Tanzanian spinel bears no enhancement, a trait that elevates its provenance into the realm of rare authenticity, an attribute cherished by collectors and connoisseurs who understand that true luxury is inseparable from integrity.

In the company of its peers this spinel asserts a distinctive reflective character, its balanced refractive response producing a lively, penetrating brilliance that feels more immediate and energetic than many stones of comparable tone. Compared directly to corundum rubies and sapphires, it often returns light with a clarity and vivacity that belies its delicate pink, because corundum of comparable saturation can appear denser in face up presentation, muting scintillation when inclusions or deeper tone are present. Against garnets and tourmalines the difference is equally telling, those gems tending toward a warmer, more velvety luster and stronger dichroism, whereas this spinel offers a purer interaction with light, a crystalline transparency that allows the mixed brilliant cut to produce crisp scintillation and an elegant dispersion of subtle fire. The result is a visual experience that combines the best qualities of classic gem brilliance and contemporary brilliance, a stone that flashes with confident sparkle but never veers into gaudiness, maintaining a measured, sophisticated glow that complements high jewelry design.
