5.04 Ct. Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A singular vision of verdant radiance awaits the collector of discerning taste. Presenting a flawless spectacle of nature refined by masterful cutting, this transparent 5.04 carat pear shaped peridot measures 14.98 by 10.71 by 5.42 millimeters, and is offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. The mixed brilliant cut breathes life into every facet, producing a scintillation that rivals the most celebrated brilliances of the gem world, while the precise pear silhouette bestows a timeless elegance that flatters both classic and modern settings. At eye level the stone reads very slightly included, a clarity that allows its intense color to sing without distraction, and its excellent polish amplifies surface luster and tactile smoothness. This gem is enhanced by a subtle, stable heat treatment that deepens and stabilizes its hue, a tasteful refinement that honors the gemmaker and preserves the stone’s natural character. Originated in Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this peridot brings with it the storied cachet of an island renowned for producing gems of distinction, a provenance that connoisseurs recognize as a mark of quality.

To hold this peridot is to hold a lineage of jewels that have shaped histories and coronations, yet to possess something entirely its own. Its lively green recalls the verdant intensity of the finest Colombian emeralds, yet it achieves its brilliance through transparency rather than saturation, emitting light with a clarity and fire more akin to a premier green tourmaline. In moments of fire and brilliance it offers scintillation reminiscent of a well cut sapphire, yet its warm lime undertone is unlike any blue gem, evoking instead the rare grassy opulence of the storied peridots of Zabargad Island, which ancient civilizations prized for their luminous green, a hue they associated with the sun itself. Unlike many historical treasures whose beauty is held within deep saturation, this pear shaped peridot speaks in a language of light, where facets act as windows rather than veils, offering a luminous interior that shifts with the hand. The mixed brilliant cut reconciles the glamour of antique faceting traditions with the optical precision of modern lapidary art, creating an effect equal parts romantic and exacting.

Owning this 5.04 carat pear peridot is a declaration of refined taste and a statement of curatorial accomplishment. It is a gem that adapts to the wearer, translating across platinum and warm gold with equal aplomb, anchoring feminine and masculine designs with an unmistakable presence. Set as a solitaire pendant it will draw the eye like a captured spring, set as a centerpiece in a ring it will confer authority and elegance, and as a bespoke heirloom it promises to transform into the object narratives pass down through generations. The Natural Gemstone Company ensures meticulous selection, transparent disclosure, and ethical sourcing, and this peridot’s Ceylon provenance and gentle heat enhancement will be documented with clarity for the purchaser who values both beauty and integrity. For the collector who seeks a gem that bridges the romance of history with the assuredness of contemporary craftsmanship, this pear shaped peridot offers a rare union of intensity, clarity, and provenance, a living jewel that elevates any collection and confers distinction upon its owner.
