Four native-cut red spinels from Burma, unheated and in the proportions preferred by the cutters who shaped them. Native cut stones retain the choices of their origin — geometry that follows the rough rather than a calibrated template. The reds here are vivid and saturated, from a deposit (Burma) that has defined the color benchmark for spinel for centuries. These are stones for a maker comfortable working with what the material gives.
