0.23 Ct. Peridot

At The Natural Gemstone Company we place craftsmanship and honest comparison at the heart of every offering, and this pear shape yellowish green peridot is a clear example of how superior cutting and natural quality elevate a gem above ordinary market choices. Weighing 0.23 carat with precise dimensions of 5.02 x 2.98 x 2.31 mm, this stone presents a medium color intensity that is lively and fresh without tipping into overly dark olive tones that are common in many peridots. The mixed brilliant cut allows for exceptional light return and scintillation, a feature that you will notice immediately when comparing this gem to the more commonly found step cuts or poorly proportioned stones that tend to look flat or muted. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, which means the gem reads as eye clean in most settings, and the excellent polish ensures each facet edge is crisp and reflective. Unlike treated alternatives on the market, this peridot has no enhancement, offering the natural appeal that discerning buyers value.

When you compare cut quality, brilliance, and polish among available peridots, this pear shape stands out as a centerpiece candidate rather than an auxiliary accent. The mixed brilliant cut blends the depth and table dynamics of a brilliant pavilion with well proportioned crown facets, creating a balance of flash and fire that is rare in small peridots. Many peridots under 0.50 carat are left with basic faceting or uneven symmetry to cut cost, resulting in stones that fail to sparkle under retail lighting. This gem, by contrast, has been cut to optimize its 5.02 millimeter length, the tapered silhouette enhancing perceived size and the faceting pattern maximizing color dispersion. The result is a lively gem that changes from fresh yellow green to a slightly more saturated hue as you move it, giving it the kind of visual interest collectors and jewelry designers prize.

Value matters, and this peridot offers a compelling combination of natural origin, untouched clarity, and expert cutting that makes it a stronger long term choice than larger, lower grade stones. On the market you will often find larger peridots with heavier inclusions, uneven color zoning, or treatments that attempt to improve appearance, but those options frequently sacrifice durability or resale value. This pear shaped gem retains a natural, transparent character with very very slight inclusions that are not distracting to the naked eye, and the excellent polish enhances its surface resilience and reflective performance. For buyers comparing alternatives, the trade off here favors enduring beauty and clean presentation, rather than size alone. Whether you are adding to a curated collection, commissioning a bespoke piece, or seeking a distinctive centerpiece for a delicate ring, the combination of no enhancement, quality clarity, and superior cutting makes this stone a smarter investment.

Stylistically versatile, this peridot works equally well as the focal point of a minimalist pendant, the solitaire star of a fine ring, or as the elegant drop element in a refined pair of earrings, and The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to advise on settings that will best showcase its strengths. The pear silhouette flatters many design styles, and pairing the yellowish green hue with warm metals like yellow gold will emphasize its sunny facets, while white metals will sharpen its crisp light performance. If you are comparing options across vendors, consider how many gems of this size and carat weight actually offer a mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish without enhancement, and you will see why this piece is exceptional.
