A premium red Mogok spinel with exceptional face-up presentation. At 6.9 × 5.8mm with a shallow depth of 3.0mm, this 1.29ct stone presents significantly larger than its carat weight suggests — the wide, flat cut maximises the visible surface area and delivers a bold, vibrant red face-up. Eye-clean clarity throughout.

Why Red Spinel?
Red spinel from Mogok is among the most coveted of all coloured gemstones. Historically traded alongside the finest rubies, it is now recognised independently as a premier gemstone — one that occurs naturally untreated, unlike the ruby market where heat treatment is near-universal. This stone's wide, shallow cut is a deliberate characteristic that makes it present with maximum visual impact, ideal for a statement ring or high-profile jewellery commission. No heat treatment, no filling, no enhancement of any kind.
