Oval is the most popular shape for spinel, and it makes perfect sense. The elongated face shows off spinel's natural brilliance and color intensity beautifully. Because spinel is almost never treated, what you see in an oval spinel is exactly what nature produced. We source ours from partner mines in Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Tanzania. Direct, no middlemen. Oval spinels offer excellent value because the shape maximizes carat weight from the rough. The best specimens have even color distribution, good transparency, and lively brilliance. Pinks, reds, purples, they all look stunning in oval. Check out our current selection below.
