When planning a custom piece, size and shape are the primary considerations that determine how the gem will sit, sparkle, and wear, this spinel measures 8.14 x 10.23 x 5.60 mm which is an optimal footprint for a center stone in a ring with a balanced profile, the length to width ratio is perfect for both slightly elongated heart designs and more symmetric heart silhouettes, and the 5.60 mm depth provides enough pavilion to maximize scintillation without creating a top heavy effect. The mixed brilliant cut bridges the best of both worlds, it gives strong face up brilliance through its crown pattern while the pavilion faceting supports lively flashes, the result is a gem that photographs beautifully and performs even better in motion. Clarity was evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, meaning the gem is essentially eye clean and free of visible distractions, this clarity grade assures designers and wearers that the focus remains on the rich pinkish purple color and the refined heart outline rather than internal features.

Origin and treatment information are vital when commissioning a custom design, this spinel is from Burma Myanmar and has been heat treated to enhance color and stability, the enhancement is a widely accepted practice in the trade and is disclosed here to ensure full confidence in provenance and care, with dark color intensity and an excellent polish the gem presents a deep and sophisticated tone that reads as regal and modern depending on the metal choice. Spinel is known for its durable nature, making this heart shape an excellent option for daily wear pieces such as engagement rings or heirloom pendants, its resilience combined with the generous 3.09 carat weight makes it both practical and precious. For designers and clients who want guidance, a halo of fine white diamonds will elevate the pinkish purple to a luminous center, a simple three prong solitaire setting will emphasize the heart outline and allow maximum light, a bezel setting will protect the pointed tips while keeping a contemporary aesthetic.
