A distinctive red Mogok spinel with a striking elongated outline — 8.0 × 4.0mm with a 1.33ct weight. This unusual length-to-width ratio creates a refined, elongated shape that sets it apart from conventional oval or round stones. Well-suited to an elongated setting design, a bespoke east-west ring, or a pendant where the stone's shape becomes part of the jewellery's identity.

Why Red Spinel?
Red spinel from Mogok is one of the gemstone world's most respected materials — historically mistaken for ruby, now recognised as a distinct and highly valued stone that is almost always natural and untreated. This stone's elongated shape gives it a contemporary edge, making it ideal for a jewellery designer or client looking for a red gemstone that does not follow conventional proportions. Slight inclusions are visible under magnification but do not impact the stone's visual appearance in normal viewing. No treatments, no enhancements.
