Comments : A gorgeous green Pakistani peridot! This is a very fine gemstone cut in a classical style design. Pakistani peridot is considered among the best peridot in the world and with this gemstone you can see why. The gem is ideally sized and will make a lovely ring. The colours are rich and vibrant and are stunning to behold. To my eye I cannot detect any yellow... if it is there it is very minimal. To me it appears a very pure green and at arms length the gem is a ball of light with the bright green totally captivating. As usual, the pics just don't do the gem any justice... in real life it is so much better. The design is a very bright one and truly works well in this wonderful Pakistani peridot material. This is one peridot that you'll be very pleased with.

Comments : You've gotta love big green peridots! They really are a thing of beauty, that lovely verdant green glowing and unmistakable. Large peridots like this one are hard to come by and represent something very special. Peridot works particularly well in this classic Victoria Regent design. An exceptional peridot gem!

Item : #391
Design : Supernova (Robert Long)
Origin : Pakistan
Treatments : None
Weight : 4.6 carats
Clarity : Eye Clean
Size : 9 x 11.25 x 7 mm
Price : SOLD

Comments : This is quite an exceptional peridot from Pakistan. It is a very lovely green and is eye clean. I have cut it in the Supernova oval which is a top performing design and it certainly brings the peridot to life. Large clean peridot like this one are not all that easy to find. The outdoor hand shots are closer the the real colour of the gem - the gem looks a little darker then it really is in the other pics. This is a very fine peridot gemstone and would make an outstanding ring set in yellow gold.

I've also included some "action" shots of the peridot while it was on the dopstick being cut.

Stone : Peridot (Matched Pair)
Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2011
Item : #368
Design : Round Brilliant
Origin : Pakistan
Treatments : None
Weight : 2.5 carat each
Clarity : Very Slightly Included
Size : 8 x 8 x 6 mm
Price : SOLD

Comments : Here presented for your viewing pleasure are two very fine Pakistani Peridot. Straight off I want to say that the gems in real life are lighter, brighter and greener then the pics suggest. The green of peridot is difficult to capture in an image and you will be very pleasantly surprised at how much nicer the gems appear in person. The colours and saturation of the two gems are, in my opinion, perfectly matched. The gems are both very slightly included but the inclusions do not detract from the overall appearance and are hard to detect.

I cut these gems as a matched pair, ideally for earrings. They are a calibrated size and should fit any standard setting without any difficulty. At night under lights these peridot gems sparkle and are full of fire, very dazzling. If you have been looking for a nice pair of peridots, I highly recommend these gems as they are very fine stones.

Comments : A superb eye clean Pakistani peridot cut in the elegant Acorn design. This is a top class gem and it is rare to get peridot in any decent size that is eye clean. Good green tones. The photos show more yellow then what there actually is. In the sunlight this gemstone is blinding! There is excellent "fire" and "light"... it is a very dazzling gem!

Comments : This is a stunner of a gem. It is the apple green colour that Pakistani peridot is famous for. The photos do not do it justice at all... my apologies. It is cut in an elegant design that would make a fabulous ring stone. I love this sort of design with the fuller pavilion shape... very similar to my "Acorn" design. There is something about these shapes that work well and look the part. There is a very small veil inclusion in the pavilion. This stone is exceptionally bright and brilliant!

Comments : This is an apple green Pakistani peridot cut in the classic asscher cut design. It is a wonderful gemstone and a good size as a ring stone. There are some very very minor inclusions that are common to peridot of this size. They are not visible face up and do not detract from the stone at all. An excellent asscher cut peridot gem!
