2.31 Ct. Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

When you are searching for a gemstone that will end your quest for a truly distinctive center stone, this 2.31 carat cushion shape spinel from Burma is the kind of treasure that does just that, and at The Natural Gemstone Company we present it with confidence and pride. The gem measures 8.66 x 6.62 x 4.31 mm, it is transparent, and it has a mixed brilliant cut that takes full advantage of the stone's internal fire and brilliance. Its pinkish purple hue reads as a lively, sophisticated balance of rosy warmth and cool violet, a color that performs beautifully in daylight and under warm indoor lighting. With a clarity grade of very very slightly included when viewed at eye level, the gem maintains exceptional visual purity, allowing light to pass through and scatter across each facet, while the excellent polish ensures a glassy, mirror like finish that intensifies its faceted sparkle. This spinel has been heat treated to enhance stability and color uniformity, an accepted, stable enhancement in fine colored stones, and its Burmese origin adds provenance and desirability for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Imagine this spinel set as the focal point of an engagement ring, a pendant, or a pair of bespoke earrings, its medium intense color intensity ensuring that it will never be shy against metal and accent stones. The cushion shape provides a classic yet contemporary silhouette that flatters a range of ring designs, from a timeless solitaire to a modern halo, from a delicate four prong setting to a low profile bezel for daily wear. The mixed brilliant cut gives you the best of both worlds, combining the depth and soft contours of a cushion with brilliant facets that create lively scintillation, so the gem flashes lively pinks and violets as the hand moves. In a white gold or platinum setting the cooler violet notes will read crisp and jewel like, while in a rose gold or warm yellow gold setting the pink tones will feel richer and more romantic, the stone adapting beautifully to your design choices and personal style.

For the buyer who wants more than just beauty, this spinel offers sensible advantages that meet practical needs as well. Spinel is known for its excellent durability, making it suitable as an everyday center stone for an engagement ring that will be worn with confidence. The 2.31 carat weight provides a statement size without feeling oversized, and the stone's dimensions present a generous surface area that commands attention while remaining wearable. The very very slightly included clarity grade means inclusions are minimal and do not distract from the overall brilliance when set, a quality important to clients who seek both visual purity and value. Because it is heat treated, the color is consistent and stable, and our gem specialists at The Natural Gemstone Company carefully document this so you know exactly what you are receiving. For collectors who appreciate provenance, the Burma origin speaks to a history of rich, sought after material, making this spinel an investment in both beauty and rarity.
