Solitaire Green (Lime Green) Peridot Pendant 3.25 Ct., 10K White Gold

This pendant is presented in a refined 22K white gold setting, crafted to complement and protect the central gemstone while maintaining a restrained and elegant profile. The design emphasizes clean lines and secure mounting, with a balanced drop that allows the gemstone to sit naturally against the neckline. The setting is fully realized in 22K white gold, chosen for its warm white hue and its capacity to be worked into a refined bezel and prong structure that stabilizes the stone while allowing generous light entry. The suspension bail is proportioned to accommodate a range of chain styles and thicknesses, and the overall pendant dimensions are calibrated to present the peridot with visual prominence without excess weight. The construction approach prioritizes longevity and day to day comfort, with smoothly finished edges and a polished surface that resists snags, offering a piece that is suitable for both occasional and regular wear.

The central gemstone is a transparent green peridot weighing 3.25 carats, cut into an oval shape with dimensions of 10.10 x 8.01 x 5.98 mm. The gem features a mixed brilliant cut, a choice that combines faceting strategies to enhance scintillation from the crown and depth of tone from the pavilion, producing lively brilliance and a strong face up color. The clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, an indication that the stone remains visually clean while retaining the natural characteristics typical of peridot. Color is a principal attribute for this gem, and the piece displays intense color saturation within the green spectrum associated with high quality peridot, showing a vivid, slightly yellow green that reads brightly under both natural and artificial light. The polish is rated excellent, ensuring crisp facet junctions and minimal surface disturbance, which contributes to optimal light return and an appealing, mirror like finish on the facets.

The provenance of the peridot is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source with a long history in the trade for well colored and fine cut gemstones. The origin contributes to the gemological profile, as regional material often exhibits distinct color nuances and crystal properties. At The Natural Gemstone Company, provenance is documented as part of our standard practice, and this piece is accompanied by a detailed description of the stone characteristics and origin based on sourcing records and gemological assessment. The mixed brilliant cut and the dimensions were selected to maximize the perceived size and color saturation while preserving weight efficiency, resulting in a gemstone that offers a substantial visual presence without compromising wearability. The gem has been examined and assessed by experienced gemologists to ensure that the description reflects the observed attributes, including carat weight, dimensions, cut type, clarity, polish, and color saturation.

Ethical sourcing is integral to the creation of this pendant, and The Natural Gemstone Company places emphasis on traceability, responsible procurement, and fair practices throughout the supply chain. The peridot was acquired through channels that adhere to established ethical standards, including verification of mining practices that seek to minimize environmental disruption and to respect local communities. Procurement includes documentation of origin, supplier commitments to safe labor conditions, and an assessment of compliance with relevant local regulations. The 22K white gold used in the setting is sourced from refiners who provide chain of custody information, ensuring that the metal has been produced under responsible sourcing protocols. Our approach is to work with partners who provide transparency at each stage, from mine to market, enabling us to offer clients a piece that is as conscientious as it is refined. Care information is provided to support longevity, recommending gentle cleaning with a soft brush and mild detergent, avoidance of harsh chemicals and extreme temperature change, and periodic professional inspection to maintain the integrity of the setting and the gem. This pendant embodies an intersection of measured design, gemological quality, and supply chain responsibility, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company as a considered and enduring jewelry object.
