One-of-a-kind earrings handcrafted in 14k white gold by designer Kelly Sternau, featuring a perfectly matched pair of antique cushion-cut lavender spinels from Myanmar, weighing a total of 2.80ct. These rare gems display the soft violet hues that make lavender spinel so unusual and collectible, especially in well-matched pairs of this size. Each is complemented by 3mm round lavender spinel accents and framed with six round brilliant-cut, earth-mined diamonds totaling 0.12ctw, all set within an elegant leaf-and-vine dangle design. Finished with secure friction posts and backs, these earrings balance fine craftsmanship with the rarity of Burmese lavender spinel—a true collector’s piece. These earrings gracefully dangle at a total length of 1” and have friction style posts and backs.
Collector’s Note: The Mogok region, historically known as the "Valley of Rubies," is famed for producing spinels with remarkable clarity and vibrant hues. Lavender spinels—soft, pastel purple in tone—are exceptionally rare, and matched pairs exceeding 2.5 carats are even more scarce. This particular pair, with their symmetrical cut and consistent coloration, exemplifies the finest Burmese lavender spinels. They represent a truly exceptional find for discerning collectors and connoisseurs, offering both rarity and timeless beauty in the world of fine gemstones.
