Description
The artistry of fine jewellery often begins with carefully chosen gems, and few combinations are as captivating as the union of orangy-pink Spinel and lush green Zircon. This particular set, sourced directly from the gem-rich village of Rakwana in Sri Lanka, exemplifies the harmony of colour and craftsmanship.
At the heart of this trio lies a 0.62 carat natural Spinel, displaying the highly sought-after Mehenge-like colouration: a radiant blend of pink with a soft orange undertone. With its clean clarity and expertly cut oval shape, this Spinel glows with vibrancy, rivaling even stones from the famed deposits of Tanzania.
Flanking this centrepiece are two 0.25 carat Zircons, cut in modified triangular forms, together weighing 0.50 carats. Their vivid green colour and brilliance provide a striking contrast to the Spinel, creating an elegant palette of fire and balance. Zircon, one of the oldest minerals on earth, is cherished for its refractive brilliance and natural sparkle, qualities that complement Spinel’s bold tone beautifully.
What makes this set truly special is its untouched nature—all stones are unheated, natural, and sourced directly at the mine level. For jewellery designers, this trio is a ready inspiration, whether envisioned as a unique pendant, a custom three-stone ring, or a creative arrangement within a bespoke design.
Sri Lanka, often referred to as the “Island of Gems,” has been a source of Spinel and Zircon for centuries. Rakwana, in particular, is known for producing gems of exceptional clarity and colour. This trio pays homage to that legacy while offering a fresh opportunity for modern jewellers to craft a masterpiece.
From rough to brilliance, City of Gem ensures that each stone is hand-selected and faceted with care, preserving its natural energy and enhancing its beauty. Together, this Spinel and Zircon pair tell a story of contrast, rarity, and elegance—perfect for connoisseurs and creators alike.
