0.63 Ct. Yellowish Green Peridot from Pakistan

This pear shaped peridot weighs 0.63 carat and measures 5.96 x 5.08 x 4.08 mm, a size that balances presence with versatility for fine jewelry applications. The cutting style is faceted, executed as a mixed brilliant cut that pairs a faceted brilliant style crown with a carefully proportioned pavilion, producing lively scintillation and strong return of light across the table. Facet junctions are crisp and symmetrical, contributing to the excellent polish and clean facet reflections visible in the provided imagery. The girdle is proportioned to support conventional mounting methods without excessive material loss, and the tip geometry has been maintained with attention to eliminating weak points during setting. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, which in practice means transparent material with natural internal features that do not obstruct the gem face up, and this clarity profile preserves the peridot transparency while confirming its natural origin. There is no enhancement recorded, and the stone originates from Pakistan, a source known for producing peridot with lively yellowish green hues and stable color characteristics.

Color performance for this specimen is intense, with a distinct yellowish green hue that reads as green with a warm yellow overtone under neutral lighting. Saturation is robust without appearing overly dark, a quality that allows the stone to exhibit both brilliance and vivid color face up in typical jewelry lighting conditions. The mixed brilliant faceting was selected to accentuate brightness while maintaining color depth, the brilliant crown facets dispersing light for sparkle, and the pavilion plane geometry enhancing selective color return to the observer. Slight inclusions are consistent with natural peridot formation, appearing as minute crystals and faint feathering under magnification, and these features contribute to the gem fingerprint without compromising durability or optical performance. The excellent polish ensures that facet planes act as efficient mirrors, minimizing light scatter and maximizing luster, which is especially important for peridot given its refractive index and the way it interacts with light in smaller sizes.

This peridot adapts readily to a wide array of settings, and The Natural Gemstone Company offers detailed customization options to suit both contemporary and traditional design languages. For ring applications, a V shaped prong at the pointed end is recommended to protect the tip from impact, combined with two to three rounded or knife prongs along the shoulders to secure the widest axis. A full bezel or partial bezel can be specified when a more protective setting is desired, with a precision seat cut to the 5.96 by 5.08 mm footprint to eliminate play and maintain alignment. For pendant and drop configurations, an open small gallery under the pavilion will permit light ingress and preserve brilliance while a discreet bail design can orient the pear point up or down according to design intent. Halo settings with calibrated melee diamonds or contrasting gemstones improve perceived size and introduce scintillation that complements the peridot hue, especially when warm metals such as 18 karat yellow or rose gold are used to enhance the yellowish undertone. Conversely a white metal mount such as platinum or 18 karat white gold creates a high contrast effect that emphasizes brightness. For bespoke pieces The Natural Gemstone Company can provide options such as east west mounting for a modern silhouette, three stone flanking configurations for an engagement aesthetic, or custom mounting profiles that include pavilled shoulders, knife edges, and under gallery filigree.

From a practical and technical perspective the peridot requires considered handling during setting, and The Natural Gemstone Company provides fabrication specifications and pre mounting services to ensure secure installation. Peridot has a Mohs hardness around six and a half to seven, which demands protective design choices for everyday wear pieces, particularly rings. We recommend avoiding tension settings for peridot to reduce stress concentration. Seat tolerances should accommodate the 4.08 mm depth while preserving equal pressure distribution from prongs or bezel walls, and metal thickness adjacent to the girdle should be calibrated to avoid overcompression of natural inclusions. Cleaning recommendations are to use mild soap and warm water with a soft brush, and to avoid aggressive ultrasonic or steam cleaning unless the setting and the specific inclusion pattern have been assessed by our gem professionals. The Natural Gemstone Company can supply CAD renderings and wax proofs showing how light interacts with the gem in proposed settings, enabling customers to evaluate orientation, crown exposure, and the visual relationship between the peridot and surrounding accent stones prior to production. We also offer optional re polishing and minor recutting services if a chosen design requires slight modification of girdle or tip geometry to meet bespoke mounting constraints.

As custodians of this material The Natural Gemstone Company supports custom design workflows, including metal selection guidance, exact seat fabrication, and quality assurance documentation. We can produce high resolution images of the gem in situ within proposed settings, provide estimated lead times for casting and finishing, and supply a detailed report describing the weight, dimensions, cut style, clarity observations, color description, origin, and confirmation of no enhancement. For clients seeking matched pairs or alternative shapes we offer sourcing and recutting consultations to achieve consistent color and facet orientation across multiple stones. Our bench is experienced in translating the technical characteristics of this 0.63 carat pear peridot into durable, visually optimized jewelry, and we invite you to contact The Natural Gemstone Company to discuss CAD previews, setting recommendations, and bespoke finishing options that will highlight the intense yellowish green color and the refined faceting of this natural Pakistani peridot.
