1.06 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Peridot Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This matched pair of emerald cut peridots presents precise technical attributes that will satisfy a discerning collector. The stones weigh 0.54 carats and 0.52 carats respectively, with dimensions 5.97 x 3.97 x 2.67 mm and 5.93 x 4.01 x 2.66 mm, showing exceptional size and weight consistency for a matched set. The emerald cut was executed with traditional step facets across the crown and pavilion, producing broad parallel facet planes that prioritize color transmission and windowing rather than high dispersion. The large table and carefully proportioned crown and pavilion angles deliver uniform light return and a controlled, satiny brilliance that complements peridot optical character. Clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, indicating minimal internal features that do not distract to the naked eye, while the excellent polish ensures sharp facet junctions and mirror like facet planes. Color is medium intense green, balanced between yellow green and pure green, with consistent saturation across both stones. No enhancement has been applied, and provenance is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for clean material and vibrant olive to lime green tones. The pair was matched for hue, tone and saturation, and hand selected by The Natural Gemstone Company to maintain symmetry, visual balance and close parity in light performance.

Beyond the measurable parameters, these peridots carry a romantic narrative tied to their green and clarity. The medium intense green evokes a first emergence of spring on the Ceylon hills, a green that signals renewal and steady growth rather than transient flash, and the step cut architecture amplifies that narrative by laying the color out in wide, even planes. The very slightly included clarity plays a subtle role in the story, like small memories visible only on intimate inspection, inclusions that catch a narrow beam of light and return it as a private glint, rather than a distraction. For a pair intended as matched earrings or companion stones, this combination of transparent color, thoughtful cutting and natural origin becomes a metaphor for a balanced partnership, where clarity is honest and color is shared evenly. The Natural Gemstone Company presents these peridots as a technical achievement and as an emotional emblem, suitable for a setting that emphasizes geometry and light, or for a bespoke design that honors the stones origin and the artisanal care given to their matching.
