The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to encounter a singular expression of refined taste, a transparent green peridot of 2.49 carat that speaks to both quiet confidence and unabashed glamour. Cut into a radiant shape with meticulous proportions measuring 7.71 x 7.70 x 5.44 mm, this gem arrives as a study in balanced geometry and luminous presence. Its vibrant green hue is presented at a medium intense color intensity, a tone that reads as modern and fresh when set against cool white metals, and as warm and opulent when paired with yellow gold. Hand finished to an excellent polish, and evaluated with a clarity grade of very very slightly included at eye level, this stone carries the hallmarks of natural beauty and careful craftsmanship. There is no enhancement, and the peridot originates from Afghanistan, a provenance that adds an element of rarity and story to every commission. For the collector who seeks an object that is an achievement as much as it is an adornment, this peridot is a trophy of taste, an unmistakable signifier of distinction from The Natural Gemstone Company.

The radiant cut of this peridot has been executed to maximize scintillation and internal brilliance, yielding a lively play of light across each facet. With dimensions that give it a commanding presence without being ostentatious, the gem returns light with a crispness that makes the green read as both verdant and jewel bright. The clarity grade of very very slightly included means the stone is exceptionally clean at a glance, with only the most minor inclusions detectable to a trained eye under magnification, which in turn preserves the purity of color and the integrity of its sparkle. Its excellent polish enhances surface reflectivity and allows for clean facet junctions, which is essential for a radiant cut that relies on precise angles to distribute light. Because this peridot is unenhanced, its color and character are wholly natural, a rare quality that collectors and connoisseurs appreciate. The Afghan origin lends a geographic signature that is increasingly prized, a lineage that speaks of rugged terrain and artisanal mining where nature has crafted each crystal with time and pressure.

This peridot is versatile in a manner that elevates daily dressing and transforms evening ensembles. In a casual setting, it wears as an elegant accent, a bright point of green that lifts linen shirts, soft cashmere, and denim with equal authority. Paired with a fine bezel or a subtle claw setting in white gold, it becomes an understated everyday companion that communicates refined taste without effort. For formal occasions it becomes a showpiece, ideally set as the centerpiece of a solitaire ring for a memorable engagement, or as the focal gem in a pendant draped on a longer chain for red carpet or gala appearances. Consider it in warm yellow gold with delicate pavé shoulders for a classic signature look, or set within cool platinum alongside diamonds for a contemporary, high contrast drama. Its measurements of 7.71 x 7.70 x 5.44 mm and its weight of 2.49 carat make it large enough to anchor a design that aspires to statement making, while its transparency and precise cut ensure that it remains wearable and comfortable for sustained wear.
