This 1.49ct stone from Mogok is well-proportioned with slight inclusions visible under magnification but a clean, appealing face-up appearance.

Why Cognac?
Cognac and warm brown spinels represent one of the rarer and more overlooked ends of the colour spectrum. For a jewellery designer or client seeking a centrepiece that stands apart from conventional gemstone choices, a natural untreated cognac spinel from Mogok offers genuine rarity and character. The colour pairs well with rose gold, oxidised silver, and wood-accented settings. No heat treatment, no filling, no enhancement — the colour is entirely natural.
