Solitaire Green (Lime Green) Peridot Ring 2.28 Ct., 10K Yellow Gold

This ring from The Natural Gemstone Company centers on a transparent cushion-shaped peridot weighing 2.28 carats, with dimensions of 8.96 by 6.89 by 4.55 millimeters and a mixed brilliant cut. The gem displays a clean, lime green tone with medium color saturation and an excellent polish, and has been graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The cut and polish maximize light return while preserving the stone’s internal characteristics, and the mixed brilliant facet arrangement contributes to lively scintillation across the table and crown. The stone is mounted in a yellow gold four-prong setting that lifts the pavilion slightly above the band and presents the peridot in a classic solitaire profile, keeping the overall aesthetic clean and focused on the gem.

In terms of durability, peridot sits at approximately 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, which makes it softer and more susceptible to abrasion and surface wear than harder gemstones commonly used in jewelry, such as sapphires or diamonds. The present prong-mounted solitaire design provides an elegant display but leaves the girdle and table more exposed to potential knocks and abrasive contact than lower-profile or bezel-set alternatives. Compared with similar market designs, this ring’s durability is typical for fine peridot solitaire pieces, offering reasonable everyday wear if treated with care, but it is less robust than peridot rings set with full bezels, halo protective surrounds, or mounted in harder alloys such as platinum. The choice of yellow gold complements the gem visually, though gold alloys, particularly higher karat gold, are softer than platinum or lower-karat gold and will show surface scratches more readily. For long-term wear, periodic inspection of the prongs, avoidance of impact and harsh chemicals, and occasional professional cleaning and re-tipping of settings will preserve the stone and mounting. This piece combines the color and clarity characteristics sought in Burmese peridot with a classic solitaire silhouette, and when maintained according to these guidelines, performs on par with comparable peridot solitaire rings available on the market.
