2.52 Ct. Spinel from Tanzania

When you are searching for the perfect stone to symbolize a lifelong promise, clarity of vision and certainty of choice matter most. This 2.52 carat cushion shaped purple spinel is the answer to that search, a gem that marries rare beauty with everyday practicality. Its medium intense purple color speaks of romance and individuality, a hue that stands apart from more common choices and that flatters every skin tone. The mixed brilliant cut brings modern sparkle and classic depth together, so the stone will catch the light in a way that delights at every glance. If your quest is for an engagement gem that feels at once unique and timeless, this spinel resolves that desire, offering the visual impact of a larger stone with a refined proportion that suits elegant solitaire rings and ornate vintage settings alike.

Beyond first impressions, the technical excellence of this gem assures that it is an enduring choice. Weighing 2.52 carats and measuring 8.04 by 6.52 by 5.64 millimeters, the cushion shape and cutting style maximize brilliance while maintaining comfortable wearability on the finger. The clarity is graded slightly included as evaluated at eye level, which means the stone retains excellent transparency and visual purity without the price premium of a completely clean stone, a balance that makes sense for a thoughtful purchase. The polish is excellent, a detail that intensifies surface reflection and ensures the stone presents a lively, satiny finish in any lighting. There has been no enhancement to alter color or clarity, a declaration that preserves the stones natural integrity and gives you confidence in its origin and appearance. Sourced from Tanzania, a region known for producing spinels of remarkable color quality, this gem carries provenance that collectors and connoisseurs respect.

Choosing a spinel for an engagement ring is a decision rooted in both beauty and sense. Spinel rates around 8 on the Mohs scale of hardness, a level of durability that supports daily wear for a life together, and it resists chips and scratches better than more fragile alternatives. The cushion silhouette, paired with a mixed brilliant cut, concentrates fire and scintillation toward the center, creating an impression of depth and movement that complements the emotional depth of the commitment it celebrates. The medium intense purple shade is especially meaningful for couples who want to express individuality, creativity, and passion without resorting to overly vivid tones. In a warm yellow metal setting the color will glow like royalty, in a rose gold mount it will exude romantic softness, and in a white metal such as platinum or white gold it will read as modern and purposeful. This adaptability makes the stone an ideal centerpiece for a wide range of design directions, whether your preference is a minimalist bezel, a halo that enhances presence, or a bespoke design that tells your personal story.
