1.68 Ct. Spinel from Tanzania

This exquisite Tanzanian blue spinel from The Natural Gemstone Company embodies refined rarity and quiet opulence, a gem destined to become the signature of a discerning collection. Weighing 1.68 carats, with a cushion shape and precise dimensions of 7.32 x 6.40 x 4.44 millimeters, this stone has been fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut to balance scintillation with depth of color. Its intense blue hue is complemented by an excellent polish that delivers lively return of light, the clarity grade being very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which only underscores its natural authenticity and adds a subtle character to an otherwise visually captivating transparency. Importantly, this spinel is untreated, completely free of enhancement, and carries the provenance of Tanzania, a source renowned for producing gemstones of remarkable color and integrity.

Imagine this cushion blue spinel as the centerpiece of a suite of bespoke creations, each tailored to accentuate different aspects of its personality. Set as a classic four or six prong solitaire in platinum or 18 karat white gold, it will radiate brilliant sparkle and present as an elegant engagement focal point. Encircled by a delicate diamond halo, the center stone will appear larger and more luminous, an ideal choice for an heirloom inspired ring or a decadent pendant. For a modern statement, a low bezel setting will emphasize its saturated blue while offering daily wearability, and an east west orientation in a minimalist band will give it a contemporary, editorial edge. Pairing it with tapered baguette side stones will introduce architectural sophistication, while a three stone setting with champagne diamonds will create a warm contrast, perfect for someone who appreciates subtle drama. This spinel also lends itself beautifully to matched pieces, as a drop earring pair, a solitary pendant, cufflinks for refined menswear, or a custom cluster brooch with mixed colored accents.
