2.58 Ct. Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

The allure of gemstones has captivated humans for centuries, and among the most enchanting of these precious stones is the spinel. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present an exquisite example of this type: a truly remarkable orangish red spinel that promises to be a centerpiece of any fine jewelry piece. This 2.58 carat cushion-shaped gem, certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), stands as a testament to the wonders of natural gemstone artistry. With dimensions measuring 8.45 x 7.75 x 5.29 mm, this spinel boasts a mixed brilliant cut and eye-clean clarity. These attributes ensure a spectacular play of light that captures the viewer's attention and accentuates the gem's vivid color intensity. Its excellent polish further enhances its brilliance, making it an ideal candidate for various customizable jewelry settings.

The allure of our orangish red spinel can, in part, be attributed to the gem’s fascinating origin: Burma, now known as Myanmar. This region is renowned for producing some of the world's most exceptional and sought-after gemstones. The vibrant, richly saturated color of this spinel is a signature feature that distinguishes this gemstone variety, appealing to both collectors and connoisseurs. While rubies have long been cherished for their fiery hues, spinels offer a unique combination of vibrant color and clarity at a more accessible price point. The value of this spinel is not only found in its stunning appearance but also in the prestige associated with owning a gem from a legendary source like Burma. This can be particularly appealing to an educated buyer who understands the importance of a gemstone’s provenance and appreciates the refined craftsmanship involved in its cutting and polishing.

Moreover, the beauty of this spinel is greatly enhanced by its versatility in jewelry designs. Its exquisite cushion shape complements both traditional and contemporary styles, allowing it to be customized into a variety of stunning settings. For those who favor classic elegance, setting this spinel in a timeless solitaire ring can highlight its vivid color and remarkable clarity. The stone's size and shape also lend themselves well to a pendant, where it can serve as the focal point that gracefully draws the eye. Additionally, for those seeking something more adventurous, this gemstone could be the star in a pair of sophisticated earrings or a bespoke cuff bracelet, each piece celebrating the brilliant dance of light across the gem’s polished facets. The Natural Gemstone Company offers the opportunity to personalize these settings, working closely with skilled artisans to transform this magnificent spinel into a piece of jewelry that truly reflects the wearer's individual style and taste.

Understanding gemstone grading, clarity, and origins is crucial for those who wish to make informed decisions when investing in such treasures. The eye-clean clarity grade of this spinel confirms that it is free of imperfections as seen at eye level, ensuring an unobstructed view of its remarkable brilliance. Harnessing over many years of expertise in gemstones, The Natural Gemstone Company is committed to providing our clients with only top-quality specimens, backed by authoritative certification from the GIA.
