1.26 Ct. Peridot from Tanzania

Peridot has a lineage that stretches back through the corridors of history, admired by pharaohs and sailors alike for its singular green fire. This oval shape peridot, weighing 1.26 carat, carries that same timeless appeal, a jewel that seems to capture the very essence of sunlight passing through a summer leaf. Its yellowish green hue is vivid and alive, a reminder of the ancient beliefs that peridot warded off darkness and brought clarity to the heart. The mixed brilliant cut gives this stone a balanced combination of scintillation and depth, honoring traditional lapidary art while ensuring modern brilliance. For collectors and wearers who value heirloom quality, this peridot evokes the continuity of craft and the enduring beauty that has made peridot a favorite of classic jewelry designs for centuries.

This particular gem presents with intense color intensity and exceptional polish, traits that speak to careful cutting and finishing. The oval dimensions are 7.40 by 5.56 by 4.57 millimeters, offering a pleasing presence in settings that range from delicate solitaires to more elaborate vintage inspired mounts. The clarity is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which is typical of natural peridot and contributes character rather than detracting from its allure. There are no enhancements, the stone is entirely natural, and its transparency allows the eye to travel through the stone to appreciate the lively flashes of green that shift with movement. The excellent polish enhances the surface luster, so that the peridot catches and reflects light with a serene, luminous quality that suits both contemporary and classic designs.
