Spinel 1.17 ct | Oval | Maroon Red | Elahera, Sri Lanka

This 1.17 ct Spinel from Elahera, Sri Lanka, combines a classic oval cut with an attractive maroon red color. Sri Lanka is one of the world’s most respected sources for fine spinel, and Elahera is known for producing gemstones with lively brilliance and beautiful natural color nuances. This stone offers a refined balance of elegance, individuality, and versatility.

The color shows a rich maroon red appearance with a deep and sophisticated character. Unlike brighter or more vivid reds, this tone stands out through its darker, more nuanced expression, giving the gemstone a distinctive and elegant presence. Maroon red spinels are especially appealing for buyers who appreciate natural gemstones with depth, warmth, and a more individual color personality.

Its oval cut is one of the most versatile and flattering gemstone shapes. The elongated outline gives the stone an elegant face-up appearance while helping it present its color beautifully in jewelry. Oval spinels are especially well suited for solitaire rings, halo designs, refined pendants, and bespoke fine jewelry where both color and shape should stand out with understated elegance.

At 1.17 ct, this spinel has a practical and attractive size for fine jewelry. It is large enough to show both its color and graceful outline clearly, while remaining highly wearable for everyday luxury or occasion pieces. Set in white gold or platinum, the maroon red tone appears crisp and refined; in yellow or rose gold, it takes on an even warmer and richer character.
