0.73 Ct. Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This beautiful transparent 0.73 carat emerald cut green peridot from Ceylon Sri Lanka offers a combination of color, clarity, and cut that sets it apart from many other green gemstones on the market, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present it as a superior choice for bespoke jewelry. At 6.05 x 4.03 x 3.20 mm the precise dimensions and excellent polish give the stone a clean, architectural presence that the emerald cut enhances, producing broad, elegant step facets and a refined table that flatters the gem s medium intense lime green hue. Unlike many green stones that rely on treatments to reach eye pleasing color, this peridot is completely natural with no enhancement, and its clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level means that it offers genuine transparency and brightness without the common cloudiness seen in lower quality material. When compared to emeralds, which often require oiling and have more inclusions, or to tsavorite garnet, which commands a higher premium, this peridot delivers vivid, untreated color and reliable brilliance at a more accessible value, making it an intelligent choice for discerning clients seeking both beauty and honesty.

In direct comparison to other market options, this Ceylon peridot stands out for its purity of color, its lack of enhancement, and its superb polish, qualities that are often compromised in less scrupulous offerings. Green tourmaline can display deeper green tones, but frequently lacks the lively lime vibrancy that gives peridot its fresh and modern character. Chrome diopside may rival peridot in saturation, but it is softer and more fragile, and often appears darker under mixed lighting. The emerald cut on this peridot reduces the visual impact of its very slight inclusions by emphasizing clarity and clean facet planes, which results in a gem that reads as transparent and vibrant in hand and on the finger. From a value perspective the stone occupies a sweet spot between costume alternatives and high end green gems, offering the immediate visual impact of a more expensive gem while remaining ethically sourced and untreated, attributes increasingly important to informed buyers. The origin of Ceylon imparts a subtle personality to the stone, a brightness and liveliness that distinguishes it from peridots from other localities, and makes it a gem that both collectors and custom jewelers will value for its character and provenance.

For custom design, this emerald cut peridot is exceptionally versatile and pairs beautifully with a range of complementary gemstones and metals, allowing you to create a piece that is either modern and minimalist or richly decorative. For a classic and luminous look consider a halo of small, high quality white diamonds which will amplify the peridot s light and contrast the lime green with bright scintillation, pairing especially well with tapered baguette side stones that echo the emerald cut s linear geometry. For a vibrant, color rich commission, flank the peridot with deep blue sapphires to create a striking complementary contrast, or set it between two trapeze cut amethysts to lean into a complementary purple green palette that feels both regal and contemporary. Rose gold settings will warm the peridot s green and enhance its golden undertone, while white gold or platinum will provide a modern, crisp backdrop that reads cleaner and more architectural, and yellow gold will give a vintage warmth that harmonizes with the peridot s sunny character. For rings and pendants where the stone may be subject to daily wear, consider a protective bezel or semi bezel setting that showcases the step facets while reducing the risk of edge chips, a sensible choice given peridot s favorable but moderate hardness. At The Natural Gemstone Company we can source matching side stones, create custom settings, and advise on metal choice and setting style to make this Ceylon peridot the centerpiece of a design that maximizes its unique combination of untreated color, excellent polish, and elegant emerald cut, providing a superior and honest gemstone option for your next bespoke creation.
