Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How can jewelry designers use these Burma spinels in custom designs?

A: These Burma spinels are exceptionally versatile for custom jewelry design. With an average weight of 0.50 carats and sizes ranging from 4-6mm, they're perfect for creating coordinated sets such as matching earrings, pendant and earring combinations, or multi-stone rings. The diverse color palette allows you to create ombré effects, color-blocked designs, or complementary pairings. Their Mohs hardness of 8 makes them durable enough for everyday wear pieces including engagement rings and wedding bands. The precision cuts (Radiant, Princess, Cushion) ensure professional-quality settings and maximum light performance. Many designers use these for halo settings, three-stone arrangements, or as accent stones alongside diamonds.

Q: Why is spinel considered an August birthstone, and what makes it special?

A: Spinel was officially added as an August birthstone in 2016 alongside peridot, offering those born in August a wider range of colors and styles. Historically, spinels were often mistaken for rubies and sapphires—in fact, many famous "rubies" in crown jewels worldwide are actually spinels, including the Black Prince's Ruby in the British Crown Jewels. What makes spinel special is its exceptional brilliance (higher refractive index than many gemstones), remarkable durability, and the fact that its beautiful colors are entirely natural. Unlike many gemstones that require heat treatment, these Burma spinels are completely untreated, making them a pure and authentic birthstone choice that connects the wearer directly to nature's artistry.

Q: How can I verify the quality and authenticity of these natural Burma spinels?

A: These spinels are guaranteed genuine, natural, and earth-mined from Myanmar's Mogok region with no treatments or enhancements. The clarity grades of VS (Very Slightly Included) to VVS (Very Very Slightly Included) indicate high-quality stones with minimal inclusions visible only under magnification. The transparent clarity means these stones exhibit excellent light transmission and brilliance. We recommend having valuable gemstones certified by reputable gemological laboratories (GIA, IGI, or similar) for insurance or high-value applications. Natural Burma spinels can be distinguished from synthetic versions through gemological testing that examines inclusions, growth patterns, and spectroscopic properties. The diverse natural color range in this parcel—from pink to red to lavender—is characteristic of authentic Mogok spinels, as synthetic stones typically show more uniform coloration.

Perfect for jewelry designers, collectors, and those seeking meaningful August birthstone gifts. Each stone in this collection represents the natural beauty and geological heritage of Burma's legendary Mogok Valley.
