0.22 Ct. Peridot

When you are searching for that single stone that completes a design, or the special gemstone that marks a milestone, you want assurance that the gem you choose is both beautiful and authentic. At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that need, and we offer this 0.22 carat pear shape yellowish green peridot as a solution that will stop your search. This gem is ideal for someone who values a distinct color presence in a delicate size, and who wants a natural, untreated stone that will age gracefully in any custom engagement ring, pendant, or collector cabinet. If your brief calls for a pear shaped stone that elongates the finger or adds a teardrop silhouette to a bespoke pendant, this peridot answers with elegance, clarity, and a lively medium intense color that reads clearly as yellowish green under a variety of lights.

This peridot measures 4.95 x 2.99 x 2.28 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut is engineered to maximize scintillation in a smaller carat weight. The proportions produce a lively play of light, and the excellent polish enhances surface reflection so that each facet delivers clean flashes rather than dull planes. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means that the stone is effectively eye clean for most viewing distances, and the minor internal features do not detract from overall beauty. The gem is transparent and shows a pleasing medium intense saturation that makes the yellowish green hue sing without becoming overpowering. There is no enhancement of any kind, which guarantees that what you see is the natural color, and while the origin is unknown, the combination of color, clarity, and cutting style makes this stone versatile for a range of jewelry designs and collectible sets.

Inclusions are often framed as flaws, but for discerning buyers they serve as unique identifiers that confirm natural origin and tell a story about the stone. The subtle inclusions in this peridot are fine and well distributed, and they act like a fingerprint, making this gem one of a kind. These internal characteristics are small enough that they do not interfere with brilliance, and in some lighting they gently scatter light to create a softer, more lively appearance that is impossible to replicate in synthetic or heavily treated material. For collectors, these inclusions are proof of authenticity and individuality, and for someone planning a sentimental piece such as an engagement ring, they provide character that will be associated with your relationship. The presence of natural inclusions also means that the gem can be confidently set without concern for unseen treatments, and because there are no enhancements, the stone will mature in tone and clarity with proper care rather than changing unpredictably over time.

Choosing a setting and metal that complements the yellowish green tone will elevate this peridot to its highest potential. Warm metals like yellow gold and rose gold enhance the sunny green aspects of the color, while white gold and platinum provide a modern contrast that sharpens the gem and makes it read as a fresher green. The pear shape invites both tip up and tip down designs, so you can choose an orientation that flatters the finger or pendant position, and the mixed brilliant cut rewards prong and bezel settings alike with strong light return. For an engagement ring that seeks understated elegance, consider a simple three prong head to showcase the silhouette, or for a more dramatic look pair the peridot with small melee diamonds to frame its color. At The Natural Gemstone Company we can advise on recommended settings, provide high resolution images and measurements, and assist with secure shipping and trusted certification. If your aim is to find a single beautiful natural gemstone that ends your search and becomes the centerpiece of a cherished jewelry piece, this pear shape 0.22 carat peridot is designed to fulfill that promise.
