1.00 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Burma (Myanmar)

Peridot carries a story as old as the trade routes that stitched continents together, a gem that has been cherished by civilizations from the ancient Egyptians who called it the gem of the sun, to medieval jewelers who set it into crowns and talismans. This pear shaped lime green peridot revives that long lineage, offering a slice of history in a modern, wearable form. Worn to mark milestones, given as a symbol of enduring light, peridot has a timeless presence that speaks to those who prize continuity and heritage in their jewellery. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present this example of classic beauty, a stone that bridges past and present, ready to be set into an heirloom that will carry its story forward.

This particular stone is a transparent 1.00 carat pear shape peridot, with precise measurements of 8.04 by 5.81 by 3.48 millimetres, cut in a mixed brilliant style that enhances both sparkle and depth. Its clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem appears clean to the eye while retaining the natural character that collectors admire. The colour is a lively lime green at medium intensity, and the polish is excellent, giving each facet crisp reflections and lively scintillation. The gem has been heat treated to stabilize and enrich its hue, and its origin is Burma, Myanmar, a source known for producing peridot with well defined colour and attractive clarity. The pear shape is elegant for both pendants and rings, the tapered point creating a sense of elongation and grace that flatters many designs.

When set into jewellery this lime green peridot flatters a wide spectrum of complexions, making it a versatile choice for bespoke pieces. On fair skin the cool brightness of the lime tone provides a fresh, luminous contrast that lifts the complexion, creating an elegant, spirited look that reads both classical and contemporary. For medium and olive skin tones the warm green seems to meld with golden undertones, bringing out a natural radiance and harmony that feels effortless and refined. On deeper skin tones the vividness of the lime green produces a striking, jewel like pop that commands attention, the colour appearing especially sumptuous against richer backgrounds. The choice of metal further refines the effect, yellow gold amplifying the gemstone s warm characteristics and echoing its ancient sunlit associations, rose gold imparting a soft romantic glow that complements the green without overpowering it, and white gold or platinum lending a crisp, modern contrast that emphasizes the peridot s clarity and faceting. Designers will find that a halo of small diamonds enhances brilliance and perceived size, while a simple prong setting lets maximum light into the stone, and a bezel setting offers a clean, timeless frame that protects the point of the pear for everyday wear.
