2.23 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Before the eye and long before the mind, there is the first, undeniable moment of attraction that a magnificent gem commands. This is precisely the sensation our 2.23 carat pinkish purple spinel elicits, a jewel whose transparent clarity and refined proportions make it an object of absolute desire. Cut into an elegant oval shape with dimensions of 8.35 by 7.42 by 5.12 millimeters, and faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, the stone captures light with a balanced brilliance and discreet fire that flatter both modern settings and classical designs. The medium color intensity bathes the gem in a sophisticated veil of pink and purple, a hue that reads as feminine and noble, playful and deeply restrained at once. The piece is unenhanced, a natural creation from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and its excellent polish allows every facet to sing with a clarity and depth that confirms this spinel as a true rarity.

Connoisseurs will appreciate the nuance behind the phrase slightly included evaluated at eye level. These minor inclusions do not diminish the gem, rather they authenticate it, reminding the collector that this is a natural, earth born treasure and not a laboratory imitation. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize both scintillation and symmetry, producing a dance of light that remains generous under varied lighting conditions. When set into a ring pendant or earrings, the stone will reflect its environment with elegant restraint, picking up warm daylight and soft evening illumination with equal grace. Origin matters to those who seek provenance and story, and this spinel hails from the storied mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source of gemstones long admired for character and purity.

Over the years the allure of this spinel will not merely persist, it will deepen. Colors in the pink and purple family are perennially fashionable, and yet this stone transcends trends because it is defined by balance and classic proportion. As it is worn, the soft gleam of its facets will create memories, and those memories will be woven into heirloom narratives. It is a gem that responds to time with quiet dignity. The excellent polish will preserve the brilliance through careful wear and routine maintenance, while the inherent stability of spinel ensures that the color remains faithful, without fading or alteration. For the owner who chooses to pass the gem down, it will arrive at the next generation not as an artifact of fleeting taste, but as a testament to thoughtful selection, and to a refined aesthetic that favors the authentic and the enduring.
