1.75 Ct. Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present a singular pink spinel that embodies quiet prestige and effortless elegance, a transparent 1.75 carat cushion shape gem with dimensions of 9.40 x 7.00 x 3.48 mm, its mixed brilliant cut tailored to maximize both scintillation and face up presence, its clarity grade evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, its color showing a delicate light intensity that whispers rather than shouts, its polish excellent and its enhancement by heat treatment professionally executed to refine and stabilize its soft rose tones, its origin recorded as Burma, Myanmar, a provenance prized by connoisseurs for the quality and character it imparts. This gem is not merely an object of decoration, it is a quiet declaration of taste, a refined possession that signals discernment and a cultivated aesthetic, the sort of stone that rewards those who appreciate nuance and proportion, and the sort of centrepiece that transforms a piece of jewellery into a legacy piece. When you acquire this spinel you are embracing a tradition of elegance that is both personal and enduring, a treasure that will wear well through decades of changing fashions.

Visually the cushion shape and mixed brilliant cut create a charming dialogue between vintage form and contemporary light performance, the larger facets at the crown offering windows into the gem while the numerous pavilion facets return soft flashes of pink and crystalline white light, producing a lively yet gentle brilliance that flatters at every angle. The light intensity of the pink sits in a sweet spot, neither overpowering nor faint, evoking the first blush of dawn or the palest camellia petal, a hue that reads as refined and feminine without ever feeling twee. The very slightly included clarity contributes to the gem character, small internal features that are visible only upon careful inspection and that serve to authenticate the natural origin of the stone while leaving the visual purity intact to the casual or admiring gaze. Heat treatment in spinel is a respected and stable enhancement, applied to refine tone and clarity and to reveal the gem at its best, and in this specimen the treatment has been executed with restraint and expertise, preserving the stone integrity and amplifying its natural beauty.

Consider how this delicate pink will complement different skin tones when set into jewellery, the effect is quietly transformative and surprisingly versatile. On cool fair skin the pale rose hue will read as luminous and fresh, a soft contrast that brightens the complexion and invites attention without competing with wardrobe choices, and when set in white metal such as platinum or white gold the spinel will gain an ice like purity that enhances its understated sophistication. For warm or golden complexions the gentle pink takes on a creamier warmth, and a mounting of rose gold will harmonize with underlying tones, creating a seamless and elegant union that feels intimate and warm, ideal for an heirloom style ring or a pendant kept close to the heart. On deeper skins the light pink provides a sumptuous contrast that becomes striking and modern, a refined pop of color that reads as both rare and polished, and in yellow gold the gem will sing with richness and depth, asserting presence while maintaining an air of refined restraint. For clients seeking versatility we recommend combinations, such as a rose gold halo to soften the edges complemented by a white gold band for a contemporary balance, or a custom three stone composition that uses buttery diamonds to lift the pink and add architectural glamour. Owning this Burmese spinel from The Natural Gemstone Company is an achievement in taste, a thoughtful investment in beauty that speaks of personal style and a sophisticated eye, and we invite you to explore bespoke settings that will elevate this gem into an enduring centrepiece, a possession to be treasured and passed on.
