1.68 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Deep within the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka, a journey begins, entwined with the whispers of ancient times and the harmonious dance of nature. As the morning sun casts its first light over verdant hills, skilled miners working in this paradise unearth a hidden treasure, concealed within the earth for millennia. From these famed Ceylon deposits emerges a gemstone of remarkable allure, the pinkish purple spinel, destined to captivate with its vivid beauty.

The pinkish purple spinel, measuring a perfect 8.33 by 6.73 by 4.49 millimeters and weighing in at 1.68 carats, tells a story as mesmerizing as its vibrant hue. Its oval shape is crafted with a mixed brilliant cut, expertly tailored to maximize the play of light across its surface, generating a dance of fiery brilliance that captivates every observer. As the rough stone is meticulously shaped and polished, the artisans amplify its inherent dazzling color intensity, resulting in a gemstone that glows with an almost ethereal light.

Each curve and facet of this gem reflects countless hours of experienced craftsmanship. With a clarity grade marked as very slightly included, this spinel invites its beholder to explore the depths of its character, where tiny signatures from its creation whisper the passage of time. Yet, it is the gemstone’s intense color that commands the greatest attention, a vivid pinkish purple that draws the eye with its depth and rich vibrancy. This color is not only a mere visual delight but a testament to the unique geological factors and conditions found solely in its birthplace.

In any jewelry setting, this captivating gemstone stands as a central figure, its lively hue offering a striking contrast to the gleam of metals or the subtle spark of accompanying stones. Whether set in a pendant, a ring, or a pair of delicate earrings, this spinel enhances each piece with its transformative charm.
