0.20 Ct. Peridot

Peridot is a gem with a lineage that reaches back through the ages, a stone that has been prized by ancient civilizations for its fresh radiant hues, its warm green light, and its association with renewal and enduring beauty. This pear shape peridot channels that timeless heritage, a classic silhouette that recalls the elegant proportions favored by jewelers across centuries, and the mixed brilliant cut evokes the mastery of traditional cutting styles that were shaped long before modern trends. When set in heirloom designs, this gem will speak to those who value continuity, permanence, and the sense of connection to artisans past, a jewel that can quietly anchor a collection or become the luminous focal point of a cherished piece. The language of light that peridot uses is ancient and honest, a steady presence that has moved from the crowns of royalty to the intimate treasures of personal devotion, and this particular gem carries that enduring spirit into the present.

One beautiful transparent 0.20 carat pear shape yellowish green peridot is presented with dimensions 5.01 x 3.01 x 2.08 mm, and the cutting style is a mixed brilliant cut, polished to an excellent finish. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a grade that preserves the gem like nature of the stone while allowing the eye to appreciate its internal character, and the color is described as medium intense, a yellowish green that combines warmth and vitality in a way that is subtle and refined. There is no enhancement, the stone is entirely natural in its appearance and treatment, and the origin is Unknown, a detail that adds a layer of narrative and mystery, a reminder that many gems are carried from foreign earths to skilled hands. At The Natural Gemstone Company we regard such attributes as a celebration of natural formation and human craft, a harmonious dialogue between the mineral world and the cutter who brought this pear silhouette to life.

What makes this particular peridot genuinely rare is the combination of size and color intensity in a well executed pear cut, a conjunction that is uncommon among similar options on the market, and which will appeal to collectors and designers who seek distinctiveness without ostentation. Pear shapes of this caliber in the 0.20 carat range often present either muted tones or heavier inclusions, or they require more aggressive cutting that diminishes face up color. This stone maintains a medium intense yellowish green across a finely proportioned table and pavilion, and the very slightly included clarity at eye level ensures that the gem reads clean and luminous in most settings. For those who appreciate rarity measured not only by carat weight but by the harmony of hue, cut, and clarity, this peridot stands apart, a small but expressive example of nature given refined form. Classic settings in yellow gold will amplify the warm notes of the yellowish green, while white metals will lend a fresh contrast that emphasizes the stone as a refined accent in both antique inspired and contemporary designs. Whether destined for an intimate pendant, a delicate cluster ring, or as an accent in a signet or brooch, this gem carries the sense of legacy that buyers of traditional jewelry prize, and the team at The Natural Gemstone Company is available to advise on mounting choices that will preserve and showcase its rare qualities.
