2.26 Ct. Spinel from South Africa

A single breath of twilight captured in crystal, this transparent purple spinel, weighing 2.26 carats, reads like a love letter to the night. Cut in a noble emerald cut, its long, clear facets invite the eye to travel through depth and fire, measuring 10.01 by 6.55 by 4.08 millimeters with a presence that is both stately and sensuous. The hue sits with dark color intensity, a velvet wash of purple that holds its mystery without losing the gemstone s inner light. Clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a testament to its natural purity that allows the step facets of the emerald cut to sing, and an excellent polish gives each plane a mirror finish that throws back hints of lilac and amethyst as the gem turns. From the mineral rich lands of South Africa this spinel arrives unaltered, a true jewel with no enhancement, honest to the earth and to the hands that will set it.

Imagine this stone as the heart of a statement ring or a pendant that rests like a secret at the throat, its size and clarity demanding attention while holding intimacy. At 2.26 carats and with dimensions that carry both presence and elegance, it is ideally suited for a centerpiece that speaks in a clear, refined voice, perfect for an engagement ring that favors character over convention, or for a bespoke piece that marks a milestone. The emerald cut flatters the gem s clarity and depth, creating flashes of light that are deliberate and refined rather than capricious, and the very slightly included clarity ensures life and authenticity under a jeweler s loupe and at arm s length alike. Sourced and set by The Natural Gemstone Company, this spinel is offered with the confidence of provenance and the romance of origin, a gemstone that holds story and potential, waiting for the moment it will be chosen and set into an heirloom. Let it become the visible promise, a visible whisper of devotion, a bold and tender declaration that will be carried forward with every glance.
