1.04 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Peridot Pair from Madagascar

Peridot has been cherished for millennia, a green fire that ancient civilizations associated with renewal and protection, a stone that has graced the crowns and amulets of far off kingdoms and humble keepsakes alike. These two emerald cut peridots carry that same quiet dignity, a timeless presence that speaks to collectors who value heritage as much as beauty. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present this matching pair, each stone transparent and precisely faceted to reveal the vivid heart of peridot. The first weighs 0.49 carats and measures 5.95 x 4.02 x 2.55 mm, the second weighs 0.55 carats and measures 6.01 x 4.05 x 2.56 mm, both cut in the classic emerald shape that has been favored by connoisseurs for generations. The emerald cut gives the stones an architectural elegance, a play of step facets that emphasizes color and clarity, and that quiet appeal is ideal for those who prefer understated refinement over fleeting trends.

Behind the beauty, the material quality of these peridots is meticulous and deliberate, a result of careful selection and skillful cutting. Both stones are graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a clarity grade that affirms their natural transparency while preserving character and authenticity. Their color intensity is medium intense, a green that carries the rich warmth peculiar to fine peridot, neither washed out nor overly dark, suited to classical settings where color must remain true under varied light. The polish is excellent, a final hand finish that allows each facet to sit with crisp edges and luminous planes, enhancing the step cut geometry and producing a refined, serene brilliance. There is no enhancement of any kind, the stones are completely natural, which means their color and clarity are the direct gift of the earth. For a collector who understands the language of gemcut and clarity, these measurements and qualities tell a story of proportion, harmony, and enduring appeal.

Sourcing these peridots from Madagascar is a deliberate choice that reflects a commitment to ethical practices and to the communities who steward these deposits. Madagascar has a long and storied relationship with gem mining, and when work is done responsibly, it provides livelihoods and supports local traditions. The Natural Gemstone Company works directly with trusted partners on the ground to ensure that each parcel is mined with respect for the environment, with fair practices for the men and women involved, and with transparency that allows us to trace origin from rough to finished gem. For the conscious consumer these assurances matter, because beauty is diminished if it carries a hidden cost. By selecting stones that are unenhanced and sourced with care, buyers are choosing a piece that aligns with values of sustainability, fairness, and cultural respect. These peridots are more than attractive materials, they are ethical choices that can be worn with pride and passed down as family heirlooms without compromise.

In terms of design and legacy, a matched pair of emerald cut peridots is one of the most versatile additions to a thoughtful collection. They are ideally suited to classic stud earrings, to matched side stones flanking a center gem in a ring, or to paired accents in a pendant set, and the near identical proportions allow jewelers to create perfectly balanced settings that echo the symmetry of traditional fine jewelry. Peridot has long been associated with renewal and calm, a meaning that complements its aesthetic, and these stones will resonate with anyone who values continuity and depth in their adornment. If you are considering an investment in an heirloom quality piece, or if you are a collector who curates a cabinet of gems that tell a story, these peridots from Madagascar offer a rare combination of provenance, natural purity, and classical beauty. The Natural Gemstone Company welcomes inquiries for bespoke settings, secure shipping, and additional documentation of origin and grading, and we stand ready to assist customers who wish to pair these stones with a design that will carry their legacy forward for generations.
