0.68 Ct. Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 0.68 carat emerald cut peridot is a rare find for designers and collectors who want a gemstone that combines classic proportions with modern versatility, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. The clean emerald cut gives this peridot a refined, architectural silhouette that sets it apart from more common shapes, such as rounds or ovals, because of the long, open facets that emphasize color and clarity without unnecessary visual noise. With dimensions of 6.03 x 4.01 x 2.98 mm, this gem sits in a sweet spot that is large enough to be a striking center stone in a delicate ring, and understated enough to work beautifully as a matching pair for drop earrings or as the focal point in a pendant. The medium intense green color is lively and fresh, a signature peridot hue that reads bright under daylight and warm under indoor lighting, giving custom pieces a dynamic presence that suits both minimal and ornate designs.

Compared to other market offerings, this peridot stands out for its combination of an emerald cut and a very balanced size, because many peridots at this carat weight come in round or oval shapes that scatter light differently and often require larger tables to project similar presence. The emerald cut by contrast reflects light in broad flashes, allowing the eye to travel across the stone and appreciate the even color distribution, which is especially important in green gemstones. For designers deciding between stones, this gem offers the visual impact of a larger looking stone, due to its cut and facet arrangement, without the price increase that would come from a higher carat weight. When compared to common alternatives such as heat treated or fracture filled gems, this peridot is unenhanced, which preserves its natural character and longevity, making it a superior choice for custom jewelry that aims to be both beautiful and honest in its materials.

Clarity and finish matter when crafting bespoke pieces, and this peridot delivers on both counts because it is graded as very slightly included at eye level and has an excellent polish. The very slight inclusions are typical of natural peridot and serve to confirm its authenticity, while remaining unobtrusive in everyday wear and under most settings. The excellent polish enhances facet definition and ensures smooth surfaces that set well into bezels or prongs, reducing the chance of snagging or premature wear. Origin matters to connoisseurs, and this gem comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing clean and well colored peridot specimens, which adds provenance and storytelling potential to any custom piece. The absence of enhancements is a clear selling point for clients who prioritize natural gemstones, because it means the stone will age naturally and can be appraised with greater confidence.

For jewelers and clients planning a custom commission, the practical dimensions and emerald cut make this peridot an especially adaptable choice, because its 6.03 x 4.01 x 2.98 mm profile fits common mounting templates and can be accommodated with minimal alteration to standard settings, saving time and cost in bespoke work. In a ring, the length to width ratio lends itself to elongated silhouettes that flatter the finger, and the depth of 2.98 mm provides enough pavilion to secure a stable setting without excessive height. In pendants, the clean lines of the emerald cut allow for modern, architectural designs, or for classic halo settings where the rectangular outline is enhanced by a frame of fine diamonds or colored stones. The stone’s modest weight at 0.68 carat makes it ideal for balanced earrings, because two of similar size will maintain symmetry without the bulk that heavier stones bring, and for three stone rings where side stones can be chosen to complement rather than compete.

Choosing this peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company means selecting a gemstone that is naturally colored, well cut, and professionally finished, aspects that together translate into superior value and design flexibility, when compared to mass market alternatives that may compromise on cut, clarity, or treatment disclosure. For customers and craftspeople who are deciding between synthetic or treated substitutes and a genuine, unenhanced Ceylon peridot, this stone represents a durable and honest investment because it combines aesthetic appeal with documented origin and excellent workmanship. When set into a thoughtfully designed custom piece, this peridot will convey a sense of refined taste and responsible sourcing, properties that resonate with modern buyers who care about both beauty and provenance, and as part of your next bespoke project it will provide a luminous central theme that complements a wide range of metals and design languages. If you are considering a custom engagement ring, a signature pendant, or a unique pair of earrings, this emerald cut peridot is an exceptional choice, and The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to assist with additional measurements and matching options to make your custom vision a reality.
