8.81 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Peridot Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the hush between sunrise and the first breath of the day, a matching pair of peridots from Ceylon arrives like a small revelation, a green duet born of ancient earth and warm island light. Here at The Natural Gemstone Company we present these beautiful, transparent peridots with care and devotion, each one a gentle chorus of color and clarity. The pair weigh 4.58 carats and 4.23 carats respectively, oval in shape, and measured with precision at 11.17 x 9.02 x 6.69 mm and 11.19 x 9.02 x 6.42 mm, dimensions that speak of graceful balance and wearable presence. Their hue is an intense green, the kind of green that feels both fresh and timeless, like the first leaf of spring held up to a golden sun. These stones whisper of Sri Lanka, of Ceylon, a place where light and mineral met beneath the sea of time to create this vivacious green, each facet a page of that story, waiting to be read against skin and memory.

Every facet of these peridots has been given a voice through a checkerboard cut that scatters light in a thousand tiny mirrors, so that movement brings a living shimmer, like sun on rippling water or dew on finely spun silk. Their clarity grade is slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which is a testimony to their natural origin and to the character that such small inclusions can lend. Look closely and you will see the inclusions as part of their private geography, like tiny islands in a luminous sea, enhancing rather than diminishing the personality of each gem. The polish is excellent, so the surface catches the light with a satiny glow that amplifies the internal dance prompted by the checkerboard facets. These peridots have been heat treated, a respectful enhancement that deepens their color and stabilizes their glow, so that the intense color intensity remains the star of the show.

Placed side by side, the pair becomes a study in harmony and subtle marriage, the slightly different weights and nearly identical dimensions like two familiar songs sung in duet, each supporting the other, each drawing out nuances invisible when heard alone. One stone weighs 4.58 carats, the other 4.23 carats, and together they speak of generosity without excess, of intimacy that is both bold and refined. The oval silhouettes, mirrored so closely, make them ideal for a paired setting, whether set as twin shoulder stones flanking a center gem, as a matched pair of earrings that frame the face with luminous green, or as a pendant and ring ensemble that travels with you through day and evening. The checkerboard cut ensures that every tilt of the head releases a new facet of color, a living chromatic conversation, and the excellent polish gives that conversation a soft, satisfying cadence. These are stones meant to be worn, meant to be loved, meant to be read in the language of light and touch.

When compared to other gemstone pairings, these Ceylon peridots find a distinct voice through their vibrant, chartreuse leaning green, a tone that sits between the deep forest of emerald and the brilliant grassy notes of tsavorite. Against emerald, which offers a denser, more velvety green, these peridots bring a brighter, more youthful energy, a vivacity that lifts compositions and brings a fresh, sunlit highlight. When paired with green tourmaline, which can range from cool to warm, these peridots promise a warmer, more luminous green presence, especially when set in gold, the metal echoing their sunny undertone. Tsavorite, prized for its rich verdant saturation, creates a more uniformly deep green palette, while this peridot pair leans into an intense, luminous clarity that catches the eye from across the room. If you imagine them paired with yellow gems like citrine or with warm peachy morganite, the green of the peridots becomes a vibrant counterpoint, a botanical spark that enhances the warmth of the adjacent stones. Against white diamonds, the peridots sing, their color popping like a flash of spring through snowfall, the diamonds providing celestial punctuation to the peridots natural melody. In every comparison, these peridots hold their ground, not by matching the depth of every green, but by complementing and uplifting, by offering a unique and harmonious tone that reads as both classic and unexpectedly modern.

Envision these stones set in a ring that embraces them like twin leaves, or suspended as a pair of earrings that sway with conversation and light, or used as shoulder accents for a central gem, their sizes and shapes whispering of balance and intentional design. The practical details promise reliability, the excellent polish and the checkerboard cut ensuring daily sparkle, while the slight inclusions remind us that perfection can be human and warm, that natural character is the very thing that makes a gem beloved across generations. The enhancement of heat treatment is noted honestly, a gentle refinement that enhances the natural color without erasing origin or personality. Origin from Sri Lanka lends a provenance that is romantic and esteemed, a lineage of gemstones born in a place known for beauty and craft. At The Natural Gemstone Company we invite you to imagine these peridots as part of a love story, an anniversary gift, an heirloom in the making, or a personal talisman that catches the light of your life.

Let your imagination place these stones in gold that warms their green like sunlight on new leaves, or in platinum that gives them a crisp, modern frame, or in rose gold that brings out their sunlit heart with a soft, blushing contrast. Picture them paired with a delicate halo of white diamonds for a setting that balances fire and color, or set alone to celebrate the purity of their intense color intensity. These peridots are more than measurements and grades, they are a small pair of green stars, ready to be set, ready to be worn, ready to be treasured. When you choose a gemstone from The Natural Gemstone Company you choose a story that begins in the earth and continues with you, a story of light, hand, and heart, offered with transparency and joy. Give us the honor of helping you set these Ceylon peridots into a piece that will sing for years, a duet of green waiting to become part of your most cherished moments.
