1.76 Ct. Grey Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This beautiful transparent 1.76 carat oval grey spinel measures 7.84 x 6.26 x 5.01 mm, and is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut to maximize light return and scintillation. The mixed brilliant configuration combines a brilliant style pavilion with a more traditional crown arrangement to create lively sparkle and a pleasing silhouette for ring, pendant, or earring settings. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates only minor inclusions that do not detract from visual appeal when set. The color intensity is described as intense, giving this grey spinel a rich and saturated tone that reads as sophisticated and modern. Polish is excellent, resulting in crisp facet junctions and a smooth surface that enhances brilliance. There has been no enhancement to this stone, so what you see is a natural material in its original state, sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region respected for producing high quality spinel with clean crystal formation and consistent color.

For an educated buyer, this stone represents a strong combination of aesthetic and practical attributes. Grey spinel with intense color is relatively rare and versatile, providing a neutral yet striking presence that will stand out in any jewelry setting. Its oval proportions and well controlled measurements allow for elegant mounting options from streamlined solitaires to halo or three stone designs, and its mixed brilliant cutting style ensures lively performance under varied lighting. Spinel is durable, with a hardness that supports everyday wear, and the lack of treatments preserves its long term value and collectibility. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize accurate grading and transparent origin information so you can select a gemstone with confidence. This grey spinel will catch the eye with a modern, refined color that complements both warm and cool metals, and it will serve as a lasting centerpiece for bespoke jewelry or an informed addition to a gemstone collection. If you seek a naturally intense, well cut stone with clean polish and documented provenance, this 1.76 carat Ceylon grey spinel is an exceptional choice.
