1.65 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for the perfect center stone to end your quest for an engagement ring or a rare addition to a collector cabinet, this transparent 1.65 carat cushion shape purplish pink spinel from Ceylon Sri Lanka answers that call with quiet confidence. Measuring 7.33 x 5.79 x 4.72 mm and cut with a mixed brilliant cut, this gem delivers lively scintillation and a pleasing spread of light. Its clarity is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the medium intense color intensity shows a beautifully balanced purplish pink tone that reads romantic and refined. The excellent polish and the fact that there has been no enhancement mean you receive a natural, untreated treasure, and at The Natural Gemstone Company we present this stone with full provenance and the highest standards of care.

This spinel is an ideal candidate for custom design because its cushion outline and mixed brilliant faceting adapt gracefully to many settings, and its versatile size works for both statement and subtle pieces. Imagine it set as a classic four prong solitaire to maximize light, or embraced by a delicate diamond halo to enhance color and brilliance. For daily wear, a low bezel or a secure cathedral setting in platinum or 18 karat gold offers protection and timeless style. For a warmer effect, rose gold will harmonize with the purplish pink notes, while white gold or platinum will emphasize sparkle. Design alternatives include a three stone ring paired with small sapphires or diamonds, a vintage filigree mounting for antique charm, a modern split shank for architectural interest, or a bespoke pendant that lets the spinel sway as a focal drop. If you love coordinated jewelry, we can design matching studs or a pendant with complementary accent stones or create a custom pair of earrings that mirrors the cushion silhouette.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that finding a stone is only the beginning of a personal story. Our gem specialists and master jewelers collaborate with you to translate your vision into a wearable work of art, advising on metal choice, setting type, and stone orientation so the piece is beautiful, secure, and suited to everyday life.
