1.00 Ct. Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One transparent, round shape peridot, weight 1.00 carat, dimensions 6.22 by 6.17 by 4.22 millimeters, mixed brilliant cut, clarity grade eye clean evaluated at eye level, vivid color intensity, excellent polish, no enhancement, origin Ceylon, Sri Lanka. This gem presents a bright, medium vivid green tone with a clean window through the table that allows light to travel freely through the pavilion and crown. The proportions, as measured in millimeters, are well suited to conventional mounting depths, offering a balanced profile that will harmonize with both low and higher set designs. The mixed brilliant faceting pattern combines a well defined crown with faceted pavilion facets that return light efficiently, producing lively sparkle and a saturated green that is apparent under both natural and artificial lighting. The absence of treatments, and the documented Sri Lankan origin, are integral to the gem narrative, supporting design concepts that emphasize natural color and clarity.

The cutting details and polish are important when considering customization, and this peridot delivers on both criteria. The mixed brilliant cut preserves weight while enhancing scintillation across the table and crown facets, making it an excellent candidate for settings that showcase a single central stone. The excellent polish ensures facet junctions remain crisp, which is essential for securing predictable optical performance when the stone is mounted. The eye clean clarity grade means the stone will appear free of visible inclusions to the naked eye, allowing designers and clients to rely on the gem to read as clean and bright in finished jewelry. The depth and girdle proportions, as implied by the elevation and pavilion dimensions, make the stone compatible with prong, bezel, and closed back settings, and also allow for accent stones to be placed close to the center stone without crowding the table.

Customization options for this peridot span a wide range of traditional and contemporary settings, enabling it to become the focal point of rings, earrings, pendants, bracelets, or bespoke multi stone compositions. For rings, the gem suits a classic four or six prong solitaire, where the mixed brilliant cut will read as vibrant and open, or a low profile bezel for an everyday piece that protects the girdle while retaining visible table brilliance. Halo settings that employ small diamonds or white sapphires will enhance perceived size and contrast the vivid green, while three stone compositions allow the peridot to serve as a central accent between tapered side stones, offering a balance of color and light. For stud earrings, matched pairs cut to the same standard deliver symmetry and sparkle, while drop or halo earrings can combine this peridot with pear or marquise shaped accents for movement and layered color. Pendants and lockets benefit from the stone caliber, where the round mixed brilliant formation sits well in both open gallery mounts that allow light through the pavilion, and in closed back mounts for a warmer, saturated appearance.

Design choices should take into account metal selection, setting style, and companion stones to best express the character of this Sri Lankan peridot. Yellow gold complements the warm chartreuse and green tones, enhancing the stone s natural warmth, while white metals such as white gold or platinum provide a high contrast backdrop that accentuates brightness and scintillation. Rose gold offers a softer, vintage sensibility, while a platinum mount delivers a contemporary, durable platform for daily wear. Prong settings allow maximum light return and emphasize brilliance, while bezels offer protection and a modern silhouette. Accent diamonds create contrast and additional flash, colored sapphires or tsavorites can be used to build tonal harmony, and small pavé shoulders will add refinement without overshadowing the primary stone. The depth of 4.22 millimeters provides sufficient pavilion to sit securely in most standard head designs, while the slightly larger diameter across the crown ensures a visible presence when set in rings or pendants.

The Natural Gemstone Company supports bespoke design consultations, advising on metal compatibility, setting geometry, and proportions that preserve the optical performance of the gem. Because this peridot is untreated and eye clean, recommendations for display and wear emphasize protection from hard knocks and exposure to prolonged heat. Routine cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush will maintain the polish, while ultrasonic cleaning may be used cautiously and only after consulting with a jewelry professional, particularly if the piece includes certain settings or soldered elements. For clients seeking custom work, The Natural Gemstone Company can provide guidance on complementary stones, CAD visualizations, and mounting options that reflect the intended use, whether it be a daily wearable ring, an heirloom pendant, or a refined evening piece. The specifications provided ensure clear expectations for sizing and appearance, enabling precise design decisions that showcase the peridot s vivid color and clarity.
