2.24 Ct. Spinel from Madagascar

Spinel carries a lineage that threads through the cabinets of emperors and the jewelry boxes of those who prize authenticity, a story that begins in antiquity and continues to the present day. For centuries spinel was cloaked in regal mystique, often admired and worn where royal rubies were displayed. That history imparts a quiet authority to every genuine stone, a sense of continuity that appeals to collectors, connoisseurs, and those who prefer pieces that convey a legacy rather than a trend. This blue spinel from Madagascar embodies that timeless narrative, its natural origin reinforcing the unadulterated character that has made spinel a favorite among historians and designers. At The Natural Gemstone Company we celebrate that lineage by selecting specimens that speak to heritage and endurance, stones that sit comfortably within classic designs and that feel as meaningful generations from now as they do today.

The gem itself is an exceptional example of how size, clarity, and cut combine to create a true statement piece. Weighing 2.24 carats, and measuring 7.80 x 6.77 x 5.42 mm, this fancy shaped spinel offers a presence on the hand that is both substantial and refined, large enough to command attention, yet proportioned so it reads as elegant rather than ostentatious. The designer cut has been executed to maximize the gem s transparency and internal fire, producing a play of light that dances across the pavilion and crown with every movement. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, which means the stone remains transparent and brilliant to the sighted observer, with inclusions that do not detract from its overall visual impact. The medium color intensity gives the spinel a deep, satiny blue that reads beautifully under both daylight and artificial light, while the excellent polish ensures every facet reflects with clean, lively sparkle. Importantly, this spinel has no enhancement, a quality that preserves its natural beauty and historical integrity, and that appeals to buyers who prioritize authenticity and long term value.

This blue spinel is ideal for a signature ring, a solitary pendant, or a bespoke brooch that becomes a family heirloom, its classical allure lending itself to bezel and prong settings and to designs that emphasize balance and proportion. Set in a simple, timeless mounting, the stone s size and clarity create a focal point that anchors a design, while paired with delicate metalwork or accent diamonds it elevates a piece into something distinctly personal and enduring. Because it is untreated, the gem will age as other natural treasures do, acquiring the patina of years while retaining its inherent color and brilliance. For those seeking a gemstone with provenance, character, and the capacity to function as a lasting emblem of taste, this Madagascar spinel is an exceptional choice. The Natural Gemstone Company is pleased to offer this stone to clients who value the continuity of tradition and the assurance of natural beauty, and we stand ready to advise on settings, commissions, and certification to ensure the finished piece becomes a cherished possession for generations.
