1.29 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a gentle breath of sunlight captured in this one beautiful transparent 1.29 carat oval shape green lime green peridot, a stone that seems to hold a meadow at sunrise within its checkerboard cut crown. Measured with care at 8.05 by 6.09 by 4.01 millimeters, its proportions are both intimate and substantial, a size that reads as a promise rather than a proclamation. The medium color intensity gives the lime green a fresh and verdant clarity, while the clarity grade very slightly included when evaluated at eye level speaks of natural character rather than perfection at the cost of soul. An excellent polish allows each facet to sing, and the checkerboard pattern across the table scatters light into playful flashes that soften into glow rather than glare. Enhanced by careful heat treatment to deepen its innate color, and traced back to the storied soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this peridot is a jewel of provenance and personality, ready to be set into a story you will keep close to your heart.

For custom jewelry the geometry and scale of this oval peridot are a craftsman’s delight, the elongated silhouette flattering on a finger and lending itself to many design languages with ease. At 1.29 carats the stone sits in a sweet center ground where presence meets wearability, ideal for an engagement ring that should be both noticeable and comfortable for every day. The 8.05 millimeter length offers a graceful span for halo settings, where a ring of tiny diamonds will echo the lime green and amplify its radiance, and the 6.09 millimeter width keeps proportions balanced so that the gem appears elegant without overwhelming the setting. The 4.01 millimeter depth reads as a secure pavilion that jewellers can seat deeply enough for protection while retaining the checkerboard crown that pours light back up into the face of the piece. Whether you imagine this peridot as a solitaire kissed by a slender band, cradled by vintage filigree, or embraced within a modern bezel that honors its shape, its dimensions and oval form make it unusually malleable for tailoring to your vision.

Beyond its measurements, every facet of this peridot carries an emotional vocabulary well suited to sentimental and romantic commissions, an engagement ring, a promise gift, an anniversary token, or a keepsake pendant meant to mark a new chapter. The lime green evokes renewal, the first green of spring after a long season of waiting, a color that speaks of growth and the quiet courage of starting again. From Ceylon Sri Lanka the stone brings a sense of place, a tropical whisper that ties a piece to earth and story, a reminder that the most treasured gems are those that travel from deep within the world into hands that will cherish them. The checkerboard cut adds a tactile poetry, faces that fold light like pages, inviting the observer to linger and discover shifting reflections, small revelations that mirror the unfolding of a relationship.
