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

This paired set consists of two transparent pear shape peridots, weights 0.74 carats and 0.68 carats respectively, with precise dimensions 7.02 x 5.05 x 3.43 mm and 7.02 x 5.01 x 3.33 mm, mixed brilliant cut, clarity graded eye clean at eye level, vivid lime green color intensity, excellent polish, no enhancement, origin Ceylon, Sri Lanka. The near identical length of 7.02 mm establishes a primary geometric match, while the minor variance in width and depth requires deliberate lapidary control to maintain optical symmetry. The mixed brilliant facet arrangement facilitates strong light return and scintillation, and matching two stones in this style necessitates alignment of crown and pavilion facet proportions, table size, and overall crown height to avoid perceptible differences in brilliance when mounted. The measured depths, 3.43 mm and 3.33 mm, fall within acceptable pairing tolerances for small pear shapes, provided that pavilion angle and faceting geometry were executed to the same optical parameters during cutting.

Pairing these peridots to perform as a visual set involves technical precision at multiple stages, starting with rough selection and continuing through cutting, sorting, and polishing. Matching color requires consistent hue and saturation, here noted as vivid lime green, and grading for color uniformity was performed under controlled lighting to confirm compatibility. Optical matching was achieved by coordinating mixed brilliant facet angles so that fire and reflection patterns correspond between the two gems, and by controlling symmetry so that the teardrop outlines align when placed side by side. Clarity grading of eye clean simplifies mounting decisions, while the absence of enhancements confirms natural origin and stability of the material. For application in paired jewelry such as earrings, bezel or three prong settings that accommodate slight depth differences will preserve alignment and reduce the need for extensive remounting. The Natural Gemstone Company provides these measured specifications and provenance data to support technical selection and design decisions, and to assist jewelers and designers in achieving a precise, consistent result.
