Frequently Asked Questions
What makes pink spinel such a prized gemstone for fine jewellery?
Pink spinel is treasured for its exceptional combination of brilliance, vibrant colour saturation, and natural rarity. Unlike many gemstones that are routinely treated to enhance their appearance, fine spinels are typically unheated — meaning the colour you see is entirely the work of nature. With a Mohs hardness of 8, it is also remarkably durable, making it a compelling choice for pieces intended to be worn and cherished daily.
Is a cushion cut well-suited to a pink spinel of this size?
Absolutely. The cushion cut is one of the most flattering shapes for a vibrant-coloured stone like pink spinel, as its softly rounded corners and facet arrangement allow light to interact richly with the gem’s interior, enhancing both depth of colour and brilliance. At 6.7 × 6.5 mm, this 1.60-carat cushion offers a beautifully proportioned face-up appearance — substantial enough to make a statement in a solitaire ring or pendant setting.
What metal settings complement a pink spinel best?
Pink spinel is remarkably versatile when it comes to metal pairings. Rose gold creates a warm, romantic harmony that amplifies the gem’s blush tones, while white gold or platinum offers a crisp, contemporary contrast that allows the pink to truly command attention. Yellow gold, too, can lend a more vintage, regal character to the stone. Ultimately, the choice comes down to the intended aesthetic — and our team at Yala Gems is happy to guide you through bespoke setting options.
Can I purchase this spinel as a loose stone and have it custom set in Singapore?
Yes. Yala Gems specialises in offering exceptional loose gemstones alongside a bespoke jewellery experience, allowing you to collaborate with skilled craftspeople to create a piece that is entirely your own. Whether you have a design in mind or wish to explore possibilities, our team will work closely with you from concept through to the finished jewel — ensuring this 1.60-carat pink spinel finds a setting as distinctive as the stone itself.
