1.91 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are stones that tell stories, and then there are gems that seem to carry the memory of entire centuries. This greenish blue spinel from Ceylon Sri Lanka is one such jewel, a mineral heirloom that links the modern collector to ancient trade routes, island lapidaries, and the long held reverence for vibrant colored stones. Spinel has a noble history that often overlaps with other famed gems, and throughout time it has graced crowns and ceremonial pieces, cherished for its clarity and color. The quality of this particular example invites the same kind of reverence, with an intense, ocean deep hue that shifts between green and blue as light explores its facets. Its presence is quietly commanding, suited to someone who values continuity, craft, and the gentle drama of a gem that wears its age with dignity. At The Natural Gemstone Company we celebrate stones that resonate with history, while promising the enduring joy of daily wear.

Measured precision and masterful cutting define the character of this gem, and its technical details read like a ledger of careful connoisseurship. We present one transparent 1.91 carat round shape greenish blue spinel, with dimensions of 7.65 x 7.67 x 4.66 mm, a mixed brilliant cut that blends the best elements of classic faceting with modern optical theory. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a testament to the stone s near pristine transparency when viewed in ordinary settings. Color intensity is described as intense, and the polish has been finished to an excellent standard, rendering every facet a mirror that returns light with elegance. Enhancement, no enhancement. Origin, Ceylon Sri Lanka. The cut has been executed to maximize brilliance and depth, the crown and pavilion working in unison to focus scintillation toward the viewer and to present a balanced face up appearance. In daylight the tone opens up into rich teal nuances, while indoor lighting brings forward the gem s satiny blue depth, making it versatile for many settings and occasions.

As a design element this spinel is destined to be a centerpiece, the sort of solitary gem that defines an object and gives it voice. Its round mixed brilliant cut offers a classic silhouette that is at once timeless and striking, ideal for single stone rings that honor tradition, pendants that hang like a talisman at the throat, or a bespoke pair of cufflinks for an understated statement. Because the gem is free of enhancements, its natural color and structure can be relied upon by the jeweler who sets it into metal and by the collector who cherishes it across time. The 1.91 carat weight provides a presence that is substantial without overwhelming, a balance that is especially prized in heirloom pieces intended to be passed down through generations. Consider a four prong setting to showcase the table and crown, or a more secure bezel for daily wear, each approach highlighting the stone s mixed brilliant geometry and allowing the exceptional polish to catch the light from every angle.
