0.47 Ct. Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 0.47 carat, emerald cut shape green peridot from Ceylon, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, is a study in balanced elegance, precision cutting, and natural color. Measuring 5.88 by 4.10 by 2.53 mm, this gem offers a compact yet impactful presence, perfect for a refined ring or a bespoke pendant. The emerald cut emphasizes the stone’s internal clarity and linear facets, creating a calm, architectural sparkle rather than the scattered fire of brilliant cuts. With a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, the peridot reads as transparent and clean to the naked eye, while the medium intense color intensity delivers a lively, verdant tone that is unmistakably peridot. The excellent polish brings smooth facet junctions and consistent reflection, which elevates the gem above many mass produced alternatives you will find on the market. Importantly, this peridot is offered with no enhancement, which means the green you see is entirely natural, unmodified, and true to its Sri Lankan origin.

When compared with other green gemstones commonly used in fine jewelry, this peridot has distinct advantages in beauty and value. Compared to emeralds, which are prized for deep green hues but often carry heavy inclusions and require treatments, this Ceylon peridot offers immediate wearable appeal without post treatment, and a cleaner face up appearance in a smaller, more affordable package. Against tsavorite garnet and green tourmaline, this stone strikes a unique visual balance, offering a brighter lime olive character that catches the eye in daylight as well as in warm indoor light. Versus lab grown or heavily enhanced stones, the natural origin and lack of enhancement on this peridot make it a superior choice for collectors who prioritize authenticity and provenance. For designers and consumers seeking a gemstone that pairs striking looks with sensible pricing, this peridot delivers a high return on aesthetic investment, while also offering the storytelling advantage of Ceylon origin, a region noted for producing gems with lively color and pleasing clarity.

Owning this peridot is an investment in both beauty and craftsmanship, qualities that The Natural Gemstone Company consistently brings to every selection. The emerald cut is a deliberate choice that showcases the cutter’s skill in maximizing color and clarity while minimizing waste, and the excellent polish speaks to meticulous finishing work that ensures the gem sits perfectly in a setting and complements fine metalwork. This stone’s dimensions and weight make it versatile for bespoke settings that emphasize design rather than scale, allowing a jeweler to craft a piece that highlights the peridot’s natural charm. From an investment perspective, the combination of natural, untreated origin, attractive medium intense color, and excellent finish creates a piece that retains appeal across trends, unlike fashion colored stones that can feel dated over a short cycle. Collectors and wearers alike will appreciate the stone’s balance of everyday practicality and refined presence, a gem that looks elevated in a classic solitaire as well as in a modern, architectural mount.

Choosing this peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company means choosing a gem that competes favorably with other market options on the basis of authenticity, cut quality, and overall value. The transparent, very slightly included clarity and the medium intense green give you a gemstone that photographs beautifully and performs even better in person, with a lively hue that flatters many skin tones and metals. The absence of enhancements preserves the gem’s natural character and ensures that its value is rooted in geology and skilled lapidary work rather than in laboratory manipulation. For buyers who want a distinguished green stone that is both wearable and enduring, and for designers who demand a clean, well proportioned emerald cut to anchor a piece, this Ceylon peridot is a compelling choice that offers an elegant look, honest origin, and exceptional craftsmanship.
