4.36 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Peridot Pair from Burma (Myanmar)

This pair of oval peridot gemstones presents a highly technical and finely executed example of precision cutting and weight matching, offering 2.05 carats and 2.31 carats respectively, with dimensions 10.05 x 7.97 x 4.52 millimeters and 10.06 x 8.09 x 4.97 millimeters, all measurements taken to two decimal points to emphasize fabrication accuracy. The shapes are classic ovals, selected to optimize face up area while retaining pavilion depth sufficient for light return. The crown exhibits a checkerboard faceting pattern, configured to produce multiple reflected planes that enhance scintillation and table sparkle under variable light angles. The checkerboard cut in these stones is executed with consistent facet junctions and proportional facet sizes, characteristics that minimize windowing and promote even light dispersion across the table. Proportions are controlled to maintain symmetry across the pair so that when set together the visual spread and reflective behavior remain coherent, an essential criterion for matched stones destined for earrings or companion settings.

Color and clarity metrics are central to the valuation of these peridots, and the pair displays a yellowish green hue with medium intense color saturation, positioned in the palette where peridot exhibits its most desirable olive to lime characteristics. Color zoning is negligible, and the hue distribution is uniform across the crown and pavilion, indicating careful orientation of rough during cutting. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a level that conveys exceptional apparent purity to the unaided eye, enhancing face up brilliance and permitting clean reflections from the checkerboard facets. The gemstones have undergone controlled heat enhancement, a standard treatment applied to stabilize color and reduce transient inclusional visibility, executed in a manner that preserves the natural crystalline structure and does not compromise durability. Polish quality is excellent across all facet planes, resulting in crisp facet edges and mirror like facet surfaces that increase the intensity of specular reflection and contribute to superior light performance. Origin is documented as Burma Myanmar, a source that is noted for producing peridot with fine crystal clarity and consistent coloration, and this provenance adds historiographic and market relevance without altering the gemological characteristics observed.

Condition and craftsmanship elevate these stones beyond standard parcel pieces, with pristine surfaces free from nicks abrasions or re polishing traces, a state that materially increases resale and setting value. The uniformity in length and width to within a few hundredths of a millimeter supports minimal bezel adjustment and predictable seat depth for gallery work, reducing labor in fine mounting and preserving metal economy in bespoke projects. The slight variance in weight between the two stones is intentionally retained to maintain optimal cutting proportions and to maximize yield from the original rough, while the dimensional match ensures optical harmony when mounted as a matched pair. From a lapidary assessment perspective the facet symmetry, table centering, and girdle evenness indicate that these peridots were finished on calibrated machinery with skilled hand finishing, a combination that yields repeatable light performance and consistent wear characteristics. For connoisseurs and professional jewelers seeking a high quality matched pair, these stones bring laboratory style metrics into the workshop, allowing precise specification of settings such as east west ovals, three prong claws or low profile bezels without compromise.

The Natural Gemstone Company offers these peridots as a coordinated pair that is ready for immediate integration into high end jewelry, providing documentation of origin treatment clarity and exact measurements to support appraisal and insurance processes. Because both gemstones are in pristine condition their intrinsic and extrinsic values are reinforced, making them suitable for investment grade pieces where surface integrity and cutting precision influence capital retention. Technical buyers will appreciate the clear communication of weight and dimensional tolerances, the detailed description of checkerboard faceting and polish standards, and the explicit note of heat treatment and Burmese Myanmar provenance, all factors that combine to determine market pricing and aesthetic outcome.
