0.49 Ct. Yellowish Green Peridot from Pakistan

This transparent 0.49 carat oval peridot measures 6.01 x 4.06 x 2.80 mm, displaying a refined oval silhouette and precise faceting. The mixed brilliant faceting pattern and excellent polish deliver strong light return and scintillation, while the intense yellowish green hue remains the gem’s defining attribute. Clarity is graded very very slightly included at eye level, indicating only minimal internal features that do not detract from visual appeal. The stone is untreated, with no enhancements, and originates from Pakistan, reflecting a natural color and character consistent with quality peridot specimens.

The gem’s proportions and weight make it highly adaptable for a range of jewelry applications, and it can be customized into delicate or more substantial designs depending on the desired aesthetic. As a center for a solitaire ring, the oval outline reads slightly larger on the finger than its carat weight alone would suggest, and the mixed brilliant cut responds well to prong settings that maximize light exposure. For increased presence and protection, a low bezel or partial bezel will secure the crown and create a clean, contemporary profile. The peridot’s intense color is particularly effective when surrounded by a halo of smaller white diamonds or contrasting colored gems, and the stone also adapts to three stone compositions, cluster mounts, and pavé accents for elevated sparkle. For earrings, the size is well suited to classic stud mounts or refined drop designs, where the oval orientation may be set vertically or east west for alternate visual impact. In pendant form, the gem offers clarity and color that translate well through open bail and bezel styles, and it integrates seamlessly into mixed metal work in yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, or sterling silver, depending on metal contrast and wear considerations. The Natural Gemstone Company can provide guidance on setting profile, seat adjustments, and complementary accent choices to preserve the stone’s integrity and emphasize its color and cut. Custom fabrication options are available to accommodate this peridot’s exact dimensions and to achieve the balance between protection, light return, and the design intent.
