4.16 Ct. Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

This transparent 4.16 carat pink spinel, cut in a classic emerald shape, measures 11.08 x 8.99 x 5.10 mm, and comes from Burma Myanmar, a source renowned for producing some of the most desirable spinels in the world. The gem exhibits a medium color intensity that reads as a refined pure pink, and with an excellent polish the facets return light with an even, sophisticated glow. Its clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the gem reads as clear and eye clean in normal viewing, while retaining the natural character that collectors prize. This piece has been heat treated to enhance its natural color in a manner that is stable and widely accepted in the trade, and the result is a hue that sits between romantic and modern in style. Compared to pink sapphires and tourmalines, this Burmese spinel combines rare origin and superb clarity with a price to value ratio that places it above many mass market colored stones, while offering a more crystalline brilliance and day to day durability than many similar colored gems. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this gem as an opportunity to own a rare natural material that competes with, and in many respects surpasses, other pink gemstones in the same size range.

The emerald cut itself is a major advantage for jewelers and clients who want a flexible, elegant focal stone, because its broad table and long step facets display color and clarity in a direct and flattering way. For custom engagement rings the stone works beautifully as a solitaire set in white gold or platinum to emphasize its cool clarity, or in rose gold to enhance the warm pink tones for a more contemporary romantic look. A low bezel setting will protect the corners and give a modern graphic silhouette, while a four or six prong setting will maximize light return and maintain a lighter feeling on the finger. East west mounting on a sleek band provides a current aesthetic, while a classic north south orientation keeps the look timeless. For a dramatic cocktail ring a double halo of small diamonds will increase perceived size and brilliance, while for a refined pendant the clean lines of the emerald cut allow it to hang elegantly from a simple bail, or to be framed in a custom halo with contrasting gemstones for personalized color play. Matched as a pair the gem would translate into drop earrings with balanced movement, and when used in a three stone design it plays well as the central color anchor flanked by white diamonds or green tsavorites. Compared with cushion or brilliant cuts, the emerald cut emphasizes color depth and architectural elegance, which makes this spinel an especially versatile choice for bespoke designs that require both presence and restraint.

Beyond aesthetics, spinel is a practical choice for everyday wear and long term enjoyment. With a hardness that sits close to other durable gems used in fine jewelry, this 4.16 carat piece will withstand routine use when set in protective and professionally executed mountings. The heat treatment the stone has undergone is disclosed publicly, which preserves value and ensures the color is stable under normal conditions, unlike some delicate treatments that require special care. When you compare this spinel to similarly colored sapphires, rubies, or tourmalines, you gain a balance of rarity, visual purity, and cost effectiveness that smart collectors and designers increasingly seek. At The Natural Gemstone Company we can assist you in choosing the ideal mounting, advise on metal choices and accent stones, and help visualize how the emerald cut will sit in various settings from solitaire to haute couture. Whether you want a minimalist bezel pendant, an engagement ring with a diamond halo, bespoke drop earrings, or a statement cuff with custom engraving, this Burmese pink spinel has the size, clarity, and refined tone to be adapted into exceptional jewelry that outperforms many mass produced alternatives. If you are looking for a stone that combines museum quality origin, a flattering emerald cut, and outstanding customization potential, this gem represents a superior and lasting choice.
