2.27 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Green (Lime Green) Peridot Pair from Brazil

This matched pair consists of two transparent, lime green peridots, weighing 1.19 carats and 1.08 carats respectively, each presented in an emerald cut outline with a checkerboard faceted crown. The larger stone measures 7.09 x 4.97 x 3.62 mm, the slightly smaller measures 7.02 x 5.13 x 4.02 mm, dimensions that indicate careful preform planning to optimize yield and to maintain proportional balance between length and width. Color grading indicates medium color intensity within the yellow green spectrum typically associated with high quality Brazilian peridot, producing a vivid lime green that is visually consistent across both stones. The emerald cut silhouette provides an elongated, rectilinear platform that emphasizes color saturation and clarity, while the checkerboard faceting on the crown introduces multiple small, planar surfaces that break and reflect light into a lively scintillation pattern, creating discrete flashes of brilliance that contrast with the step like reflections from the pavilion facets.

Clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, a grade that speaks to minimal interference of internal features with light transmission when viewed without magnification, and this specific clarity grade affords a clean visual field while retaining natural character within the gem. No enhancement has been applied to these peridots, confirming their natural state from extraction through final polish. Craftsmanship is evident in the excellent polish, which yields crisp facet junctions and smooth facet planes, and in the tight symmetry between the paired stones. The cutting design integrates a relatively shallow table and a controlled pavilion depth, engineered to balance color retention with light return, and the checkerboard crown was executed with consistent facet sizing to ensure uniform dispersion of reflected light across the table. Facet junction sharpness, pavilion symmetry, and girdle evenness have been maintained to tolerances expected for fine calibrated matching pairs, enabling predictable performance once set into a matched jewelry design.

These peridots originate from Brazil, and at The Natural Gemstone Company we place emphasis on traceable and environmentally responsible sourcing. The material was procured from mining operations that employ reduced impact excavation protocols, including minimized overburden disturbance, progressive site reclamation, and the controlled use of mechanized extraction to limit habitat disruption. Water used in ore processing has been subjected to onsite recycling systems, and sediment control measures have been implemented to protect local watershed integrity. Energy usage at partner facilities favors renewable sources where feasible, and miners receive fair compensation under monitored labor agreements that prioritize worker safety and community investment. Chain of custody documentation accompanies the stones, providing provenance records from mine to market, ensuring that the buyer receives untreated, ethically sourced gemstones.

For design and setting considerations, the paired dimensions and matching faceting scheme make these peridots ideal for a variety of matched placements such as east west paired rings, pendant and earring sets, or custom twin drop designs. Their medium color intensity and very slightly included clarity grade respond particularly well to white metal settings, which can enhance apparent brilliance, or to warmer metal tones, which can emphasize the yellow component of the lime green. The stones are suited to secure bezel or semi bezel settings when a contemporary clean line is desired, or to prong settings when maximizing light exposure is preferred. At The Natural Gemstone Company we can provide additional cutting and matching services to accommodate specific mounting tolerances, retipping of facet junctions if required for bespoke designs, and secure gem setting consultations to ensure optimal aesthetics and stability in finished jewelry.
