You may be looking for the perfect center stone for an engagement ring, a unique gem that will anchor a bespoke pendant, or a rare addition for a discerning collection. Whatever your goal, this transparent 3.14 carat cushion shape purplish grey spinel answers those needs with confidence and poise. Its subtle yet compelling color palette offers a versatile beauty that complements many metal tones and design styles, while its eye clean clarity assures a pure, uninterrupted view into the gem that collectors and wearers both prize. At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that your search is personal, and we present this spinel as the solution that allows you to stop looking and begin creating.

The technical qualities of this gem are compelling, and they matter because they affect how the stone performs and how it will look when set. This spinel measures 10.18 x 7.18 x 4.65 mm, and it has a mixed brilliant cut that balances the depth and spread of scintillation with a cushion silhouette that flatters the finger and the neck. The clarity grade is eye clean evaluated at eye level, permitting uninterrupted sparkle without the need for a loupe. The light color intensity gives the spinel a delicate purplish grey tone that reads as refined and modern, yet still richly gemstone in character. An excellent polish enhances the surface luster so that light dances across the facets. The stone has been heat treated, a commonly accepted enhancement that stabilizes and improves color, and its origin is Burma, Myanmar, a source long respected for producing spinels of remarkable character.

Imagine this stone in a wide array of settings, each one highlighting different aspects of its color and cut. In a solitaire setting the cushion shape will read as classic and confident, and under direct light the mixed brilliant cut will return flashes of white sparkle that play against the purplish grey body color. In a halo setting, small diamonds will frame the spinel and create contrast that makes the subtle hue glow, while in a bezel setting the soft color will appear modern and streamlined, ideal for daily wear. Paired with warm yellow gold the purplish notes will take on a softer rosy undertone, making the overall effect inviting and vintage inspired. Against cool white metals such as platinum or white gold the grey aspect will feel contemporary and chic. Even as a pendant set with a delicate chain, or as the focal point of a cocktail ring, this spinel will assert its presence without overwhelming an ensemble, because its color is both distinctive and harmonious.

Beyond the immediate aesthetic appeal, this spinel is an excellent choice for durability and everyday enjoyment. Spinel is valued for its toughness and resistance to wear, making it suitable for rings that see frequent use, and this gem’s solid cut and excellent polish will maintain its appeal over time. For collectors, the combination of Burmese origin, transparent eye clean clarity, and a balanced carat weight of 3.14 carat makes this stone a thoughtful acquisition, offering both visual substance and provenance. The light color intensity and purplish grey tone place it in a niche that is increasingly sought after, because it offers a rare balance between muted elegance and gemstone identity. The heat treated enhancement is disclosed up front because transparency about treatment is essential, and because this treatment is widely accepted in the market as a stable and enduring improvement.
