2.20 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Hold this exquisite violet spinel in your imagination and feel the quiet thrill of discovery, the kind of joy that turns a gift into a cherished memory. At 2.20 carats this oval gem carries a presence that is immediate and elegant, a weight that sings of rarity and value every time it catches the light. The gentle size, combined with an almost ethereal very light color intensity, invites affection and admiration, as if the stone itself were a small secret waiting to be shared. When you choose a gem of this weight you choose substance, a tangible promise of something lasting and meaningful. The dimensions of 9.22 by 7.31 by 4.67 millimeters give it a graceful oval outline that sits beautifully in most settings, and that weight makes it more than decorative, it makes it memorable.

Beyond its emotional pull this spinel’s 2.20 carat weight contributes directly to its rarity and value in ways that seasoned collectors recognize instinctively. Spinel is prized for its scarcity, and violet tones from Ceylon are particularly coveted, so a transparent, free of enhancement example at this weight is unusual and special. Expertly cut in a mixed brilliant style, this gem balances scintillation and depth, allowing each facet to return light with lively sparkle, while its excellent polish amplifies that brilliance and gives a silky smooth finish to every angle. The clarity grade is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone remains visually clean and lively while retaining the natural character that serious connoisseurs admire. The physical weight of 2.20 carats is not merely a number, it is a threshold where beauty and market perception meet, where the price per carat often appreciates more steeply, and where the wearer notices the difference in feel and presence.

Imagine presenting this violet spinel from The Natural Gemstone Company as a symbol of affection that will be remembered forever. No enhancement has been applied, so you are offering an honest and unaltered piece of Sri Lankan earth, a gemstone whose origin in Ceylon speaks of generations of gem cutting tradition and the unique geological story that created its color and clarity. The size and weight lend themselves to a variety of designs, whether set as the central jewel in a ring that marks a milestone, or as a delicate pendant that catches the light with every movement, or as the centerpiece of an heirloom piece that will carry stories forward. At 2.20 carats you hold the kind of gem that elicits a smile, a quick intake of breath, the warm recognition of value and emotion together. Let The Natural Gemstone Company guide you in turning this rare violet spinel into a lifelong token of joy and love, a jewel whose weight and provenance affirm not only beauty, but a thoughtful and lasting choice.
