16.00 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Green Peridot Pair from Pakistan

From the olivine rich veins of northern Pakistan these two peridots began their long journey, formed deep within the earth under high pressure and time, each crystal slowly taking on the pure green that has captivated wearers for centuries. Carefully extracted by experienced local miners and brought to light with respect for its origin, these stones were selected by The Natural Gemstone Company for their transparency and lively hue. They weigh 7.88 carats and 8.12 carats respectively, each cut as an elegant oval, measuring 15.88 x 11.95 x 6.90 mm and 15.15 x 11.94 x 7.15 mm. The checkerboard cut was chosen to enhance their play of light, and the excellent polish gives each facet a crisp mirror like finish. Their clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means they are beautifully eye clean with just the right natural character that speaks to an unenhanced story. No enhancement has been applied, and their origin is Pakistan, a source known for peridots with intense color intensity and authentic geological provenance.

From our cutting room the story continues into design, where these well matched ovals invite a bespoke pair of earrings that will feel both personal and timeless. Because the pair sits at 7.88 carats and 8.12 carats, the slight difference in weight becomes a charming nuance when set by a skilled jeweler, ensuring a balanced silhouette that catches light with each turn. The checkerboard faceting scatters light for a brilliant, lively surface, making them ideal for prong set drop earrings that let the stone speak, or for elegant bezel settings that emphasize the vivid green against warm yellow gold or cool platinum. Their dimensions make them suitable for both everyday elegance and special occasion drama, and the excellent polish guarantees a refined finish against any metal. At The Natural Gemstone Company we are happy to guide you through metal choices, setting styles, and custom ideas so these peridots can be transformed into a pair of earrings that carry the full journey from Pakistan mines to a treasured personal heirloom.
