Heart shape spinel is a romantic collector's gem. Not many cutters attempt hearts because the shape requires precise symmetry and wastes more rough material. Finding one in spinel, a stone that's never treated, makes it even more special. Our heart spinels come from partner mines in Sri Lanka and Myanmar. Direct, no middlemen. What makes a good heart? Both lobes should be even and well-defined, the cleft should be centered, and the point should be sharp and centered below. The best specimens show spinel's signature brilliance with vivid, saturated color. Pinks and reds dominate in heart spinels and they make stunning pendants and sentimental gifts. See what we have below.
