1.65 Carat Natural Spinel SI1 A- Cushion Cut from Sri Lanka
- Description
This 1.65 carat natural Spinel displays a very deep brownish-purple colour with muted plum flashes through movement. Its elongated cushion shape gives it a broad face-up size and a distinctive, moody appearance.
The stone is graded SI1 because its very dark tone and persistent extinction obscure a substantial portion of the interior, preventing a higher clarity assessment. No chips, feathers, fractures or abrasions were identified, although the limited light return makes this stone best suited to jewellery where a deep, understated colour is preferred.

THINGS TO CONSIDER
The gemstone has a very dark overall tone with severe persistent extinction, which significantly reduces brilliance and makes the centre appear almost black through many viewing angles. Its darkness also limits a confident assessment of the entire interior.

- Pendant
- Dress Ring
- Bespoke Jewellery
KINGFISHER RECOMMENDATION
This is a commercial-quality natural Spinel suited to someone who prefers a very dark, understated plum colour. It should be priced for its severe extinction and limited brilliance rather than compared with brighter purple Spinels. A lighter, open-backed setting may help the stone present as well as possible, although it will remain naturally dark.
At Kingfisher Jewellery, every gemstone is individually inspected, graded and photographed, so you can purchase with confidence knowing the stone you receive is the exact stone shown.
We can transform our exquisite gemstones into breathtaking works of jewellery art, designed to captivate and inspire.
