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

From the beginning this pair of peridots tells a story that begins deep within the earth and travels through generations of skilled hands before arriving at you. Formed in a geological environment shaped by time and heat, these yellowish green gems were born where minerals fused under pressure, and then they were discovered in the storied lands of Burma, Myanmar. The region has long been prized for producing peridot with clear, vibrant hues, and each facet of these stones carries a memory of that place. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor that origin, and we also honor the thread of human history that has admired this green light. Peridot has been cherished as a talisman and a sign of renewal in many cultures, and these two stones continue that tradition, offering a luminous connection to both nature and heritage.

When you examine these gems more closely their individual qualities become a part of the narrative. One stone weighs 2.23 carats, the other 2.25 carats, and both are fashioned into oval shapes that sit with graceful balance. The first measures 7.99 by 8.03 by 5.34 millimeters, the second measures 8.00 by 7.99 by 5.40 millimeters, and their dimensions speak to a deliberate effort to match proportion and face up area. Both stones are transparent and display a medium color intensity in their distinct yellowish green tone. The cutter chose a checkerboard cut to create a lively pattern of light and shade across the table, and an excellent polish brings out the surface brilliance. Both stones have a clarity grade described as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and they have been heat treated in a standard enhancement that stabilizes and enhances their color. Each step of the cutting and finishing process was guided by the desire to preserve the natural charm that originated in the Burmese mines.

What makes this pair particularly special for designers and collectors is the remarkable harmony they share in clarity and dimension, qualities that translate directly into design symmetry. Because both stones exhibit the same clarity grade at the eye level and almost identical face up measurements and carat weight, they sit and sparkle as mirror images when set side by side. This matching clarity is a rare advantage, especially for symmetrical designs such as stud earrings, matched ring sets, mirrored pendants, or paired accents in a bracelet. The checkerboard cut further enhances this effect because the consistent faceting pattern provides comparable light return and faceted reflections on both gems. When a jeweler sets these peridots in a twin motif, the viewer will perceive a single cohesive presence rather than two separate elements, allowing the design to read as intentionally balanced and exquisitely unified.

As custodians of these stones, The Natural Gemstone Company presents them with transparency about their provenance and treatment, and with an invitation to imagine the finished piece. Picture them as the heart of a pair of classic oval studs, set in fine metal that complements the yellowish green warmth, or imagine them framing a central stone in a symmetrical halo where their matched clarity and size lend equilibrium and sophistication. The heat treatment applied is a well understood and permanent enhancement, and the excellent polish ensures enduring sparkle under daily wear. We stand behind the authenticity of their Burmese origin and the craftsmanship that shaped them, and we welcome inquiries about mounting ideas, custom settings, and certification. These peridots are ready to become part of a story you will wear, a narrative that began in deep time and ends in the balanced, luminous center of a thoughtfully designed jewel.
