2.10 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a quiet poetry in the way this bluish purple spinel catches the light, a small galaxy held in a perfect octagon. We present one transparent 2.10 carat asscher octagon shape spinel, measuring 6.96 x 6.86 x 5.31 mm, with the timeless geometry of an asscher cut that creates a hall of mirrors in miniature. Its medium light color intensity breathes of lavender dusk and the slow bloom of evening, while very very slightly included clarity, evaluated at eye level, ensures a clean window into the stone with tiny character like a memory you cherish. Excellent polish gives each step a crisp voice, and a gentle heat treatment enhances the hue in a manner true to nature. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance that carries the island whisper of ancient mines and artisanal hands. Imagine this gem beneath a whisper thin band, or set high in a cathedral of gold, catching morning light like a promise made in secret.

As a designer stone this spinel is a dream to customize, inviting endless possibilities and personal stories. In a solitaire ring it becomes a vow of singular devotion, its asscher geometry framed by four or six prongs, or embraced in a sleek bezel for modern resilience. Surround it with a halo of brilliant diamonds for a starburst engagement piece, or pair it with tapered baguettes for an elegant three stone composition that reads as past present and future. For vintage romance choose filigree and milgrain in warm rose gold to echo the gem s lilac warmth, or crown it in platinum for crisp contrast and timeless wear. It translates beautifully into pendants that float at the throat, into stud earrings mirrored for a refined duet, and into unexpected treasures like a signet with a contemporary east west tilt, or cufflinks that wink at moonlight. Accent options range from petite diamonds to soft pink sapphires and cool white zircons, each combination tuning the mood of the piece. At The Natural Gemstone Company we love to help you imagine and realize bespoke settings that honour emotion as well as form, guiding choice of metal, setting profile, and accent stones so that this rare Ceylon spinel becomes not just jewelry but a keepsake for generations. If you see a lifetime in lavender, this stone awaits the setting that will tell your story.
