1.39 Ct. Peridot from Pakistan

This transparent 1.39 carat heart shape peridot presents a clear, yellowish green hue with measurements of 6.79 x 7.08 x 4.24 mm, offering a well-proportioned face-up size that balances presence and wearability. The gem is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, combining a brilliant-style crown with faceting that emphasizes scintillation and a step or modified pavilion to enhance color depth and light return. Clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, indicating only minute inclusions that do not impede transparency or detract from overall brilliance. The polish is graded excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and lively surface reflection, and the stone is free of enhancement, preserving native color and structure. Origin is Pakistan, a locale noted for producing peridot with clear transparency and saturated tones, and this provenance complements the natural attributes of the gem without alteration.

The peridot’s medium intense color is vivid enough to command attention in any jewelry application, while remaining sufficiently balanced to pair with a range of metals and design languages. In a solitaire setting, the heart shape will project a focused flash of yellowish green, with the mixed brilliant faceting delivering dynamic scintillation under both natural and artificial light. Set within a halo of small accent diamonds, the central tone will read as more saturated, as white stones increase perceived contrast and sparkle, whereas yellow or rose gold mounts will harmonize with the warmer facets of the gem and accentuate its golden notes. The heart silhouette itself communicates a considered design choice, providing a distinctive focal point in rings, pendants, or earrings, and the 6.79 by 7.08 mm table offers a strong face-up presence that remains versatile for everyday wear or statement pieces.

From a practical and technical perspective, the gem’s 4.24 mm depth and mixed brilliant geometry suggest straightforward setting and secure prong placement without excessive concealment of color or light performance. Peridot has a Mohs hardness around 6.5 to 7, and while this stone is durable enough for frequent wear when properly protected, design choices that shield the girdle and corners, such as a low-profile bezel or four to six secure prongs, are advisable for rings subjected to regular wear. Cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush will preserve polish and optical performance, and the absence of enhancement means color stability is intrinsic rather than treated. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the description and provenance of this peridot, offering the stone as a naturally occurring, unenhanced example of Pakistani origin with excellent polish, precise mixed brilliant faceting, and a clarity that supports vivid, eye-catching color in any high-quality jewelry setting.
