1.71 Ct. Greyish Blue Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine slipping a rare wash of ocean and storm into a piece of jewelry, a treasure that draws the eye and opens the heart, a 1.71 carat asscher octagon greyish blue spinel that feels alive under light. This transparent, faceted beauty measures 6.70 by 5.98 by 4.78 mm, and carries an intense color intensity and an excellent polish that makes its facets sing. The asscher cut gives it a vintage geometric elegance with crisp step facets that throw light in a way that is both refined and dramatic, the clarity noted as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and the stone is entirely natural with no enhancement, sourced from the storied mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka. When you hold this gem you can almost hear the laughter of a future memory, imagine the glow of a loved one as this stone rests against their skin, or picture the quiet pride it will give you as a signature piece that will be passed down through generations, a heartfelt keepsake from The Natural Gemstone Company.

This spinel lends itself to endless creative possibilities, it is perfectly poised to become a solitaire engagement ring that speaks of understated devotion, or a halo ring framed by sparkling diamonds for a look of timeless glamour, it can be set in a bezel for everyday strength and modern minimalism, or mounted in open prong settings to maximize brilliance and light play. Its dimensions and asscher faceting make it ideal for Art Deco inspired settings, vintage filigree, or sleek contemporary designs, and it adapts beautifully to white gold, platinum, yellow gold, or rose gold, offering different moods from cool and sophisticated to warm and romantic. Let it anchor a pendant that rests above the heart, create a pair of drop earrings that catch light with every movement, or craft a bold cocktail ring that becomes a story starter at every gathering, it can even be incorporated into bespoke cufflinks or a three stone engagement design with complementary sapphires or diamonds.
