0.94 Ct. Yellowish Green Peridot from Pakistan

One beautiful transparent 0.94 carat emerald cut shape yellowish green peridot measuring 6.57 by 5.09 by 3.51 millimeters, faceted to precise proportions and exhibiting an elongated rectangular outline with a length to width ratio of approximately 1.29, offers a textbook example of step faceting geometry. The faceting architecture emphasizes long, parallel step facets on the crown and pavilion, producing broad, even flashes rather than pinpoint scintillation, and the large, well centered table allows consistent light return across the table plane. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, with inclusions minimal and not distracting, and the polish is excellent, yielding crisp facet junctions and a clean hall of mirrors effect typical of a superior emerald cut. Color is described as yellowish green with intense color intensity, saturated evenly through the piece, and no enhancements have been applied, confirming natural origin from Pakistan, a source known for producing peridot with vivid, pure tones and stable hue distribution.

For custom jewelry design by The Natural Gemstone Company, the structural and color characteristics of this peridot guide specific complementary choices, both in gemstone pairing and in metal selection. The step facet language of the emerald cut is best echoed by side stones with compatible geometry, such as tapered baguette diamonds or rectangular step cut tsavorites, placed in a three stone layout to reinforce linear symmetry, or by petite trapezoid diamonds flanking the shoulders in a low profile ring. For contrast and brilliance, near colorless round brilliant melee or baguette diamonds set in white gold or platinum will enhance perceived saturation and add scintillation without overpowering the peridot, while 14 karat or 18 karat yellow gold will harmonize with the yellowish undertone for a warm, vintage inspired palette. A bezel or low double prong setting will protect the corners of the emerald cut, preserving the facet edges, whereas a four corner prong with minimal gallery work will maximize light exposure for pendant or ring designs. Consider a halo of small step cut gems to reinforce the geometry, or pair with a soft pink morganite in a side stone position for a high contrast, feminine composition.
