4.08 Ct. Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the ancient, sun warmed soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where traders and craftsmen have long treasured the island gems, comes this luminous peridot whose story begins deep within the earth. Formed over millions of years in volcanic environments, this peridot was brought to light by careful hands and transported across oceans to our artisans. At The Natural Gemstone Company we watched this stone move from rough crystal to a fully realized treasure, taking care to preserve its natural character while enhancing its inner fire. The result is a transparent, 4.08 carat oval peridot with dimensions of 11.65 x 8.78 x 5.41 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances the depth and brilliance of each facet. Its intense color intensity is a vivid, fresh green that seems to glow from within, a color that reflects the tropical foliage of its island home. Evaluated at eye level the clarity grade reads as very slightly included, a mark that confirms this is a natural gem with tiny inclusions that tell its geological story rather than distract from its beauty. The stone has been heat treated to gently enhance and stabilize its color, and finished with an excellent polish so that light plays across its surface with every movement.

As a gift this peridot brings a narrative as much as a jewel, a story to be worn close to the heart. Imagine presenting it in a delicate solitaire ring, where the mixed brilliant cut captures daylight at a glance and creates a halo of green fire around the wearer. Picture it set as a pendant, resting against a blouse or evening dress, reflecting the intimacy of a personal memory and the bright optimism of fresh beginnings. Peridot has traditional associations with renewal strength and protection, and its lively green offers a striking contrast against warm yellow gold and a crisp modern statement when set in cool white gold or platinum. The size and presence of this 4.08 carat oval make it an arresting centerpiece for an engagement, an anniversary that marks a turning point, a birthday that deserves to be declared unforgettable, or simply a reward for a milestone well earned. When you give this peridot you are not just giving a stone, you are offering the workmanship of seasoned cutters, the provenance of Ceylon Sri Lanka, and the careful certification and presentation that only a specialist like The Natural Gemstone Company can provide.

We invite you to imagine the possibilities and to let us help you tailor the final setting so the gem speaks to the recipient in a personal way. Our team can advise on proportions for a bezel or prong setting to protect the stone and showcase the mixed brilliant cut, and recommend metals and complementary accent stones that will enhance the intense green without overpowering it. Care is simple and straightforward a soft cloth and gentle warm water will keep the peridot radiant, and heat treated enhancements should be respected by avoiding sudden extreme temperatures. We provide full details of origin weight cut clarity treatment and dimensions with every purchase so you can present the gem with confidence and pride. Choosing this peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company means selecting a piece with a clear lineage from Ceylon Sri Lanka into a refined jewel, a piece that arrives ready to become part of a story that you and your loved one will tell for years to come.
