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

This matched pair of pear shape peridots from Ceylon, supplied by The Natural Gemstone Company, presents a precise combination of weight, dimension, and optical performance. The stones weigh 0.74 carat and 0.68 carat respectively, with measurements of 7.07 by 5.16 by 3.28 millimeters, and 7.08 by 5.05 by 3.33 millimeters. Length to width ratios are approximately 1.37 and 1.40, and pavilion depths calculate to roughly 46.4 percent and 47.0 percent of length, which contributes to consistent light return between the two pieces. The gems are mixed brilliant cut, offering a balance of faceted scintillation and defined facet planes, and are graded eye clean at typical viewing distance, with vivid green color intensity and an excellent polish. There is no enhancement, and the origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka. The pair is matched within a 0.06 carat weight difference, which corresponds to about an 8.5 percent variation relative to the pair average, a tolerance commonly regarded as acceptable for a visually harmonious matched set.

Pairing these peridots required technical precision in cutting, selection, and final inspection to ensure symmetry of outline, consistency of depth, and aligned facet geometry. For a successful setting and to preserve optical parity, attention should be given to exact orientation of the pears, centering of the table and culet, and verification of girdle uniformity before mounting, since even small variances in pavilion angle and crown alignment alter apparent color and brilliance. Jewelers are advised to evaluate seat depth and tip reinforcement based on the measured depths, and to choose mounting styles that permit fine alignment, as bezel compression or prong placement can shift apparent length to width proportions. When matched pairs are intended for earrings or a two stone pendant, use of consistent head size and identical setting profiles will maintain the intended visual match, and a final light performance check under direct and diffused illumination will confirm the uniformity achieved by the cutter and by The Natural Gemstone Company.
