That is quite striking. I wish it gave the origin of the peridots.

Hi Jason ! They all are from Sugarloaf Mountain :
Quote:
" The necklace features a 91.38 ct. t.w. Sugar Loaf peridot, 112.84 cts. t.w. Sugar Loaf peridot, 62.63 cts. t.w. baguette-cut peridot, and 10.69 cts. t.w. round colorless diamonds. Earrings feature 19.55 cts. t.w. Sugar Loaf peridot, 3.56 cts. t.w. baguette-cut peridot, and 2.21 cts. t.w.colorless round diamonds."

Danielle,

If I'm not mistaken, the Sugarloaf is in reference to the shape of the cut of the stone, which indeed is a sugarloaf cut. I'd be quite surprised if these were Arizona peridots.

Arizona stones should be much smaller... and these one aren't small... peridot looks very good cut in this way...
It would have been better if I wouldn't have seen this picture... Now I've got to get some sugarloaf cut peridot :-)

Jason , I'm so sorry ! I don't know neither about this special Sugarloafcut and neither the size of Arizon's peridots..

Thanks for the information :)

Hi everybody.

Peridot and white diamond makes a nice combination. This piece is from the Victorian and Albert Museum collection.

Not much information on it but its from 1800 to 1900

Hello everybody ! I'm a new member of GOL forum and it is my first message. I am french, so my english is very bad ! Lol ! I wish you 'll be lenient with me !
I found some informations about péridot :
Ashmolean Museum of Oxford (G-B) : Queen Ménade, Ptolémées' dynasty (en intaille, impossible to find a traduction in english ! sorry)
Musées Capitolins of Roma (Italy) : Roman cameo
Smithsonian : 319 and 289 carats stones from Burma, very lovely color...
Russian Tsars' treasure : 192 carats from Zabargad.
Topkapi museum (Turkey) : 954 péridots (unknown origine) on the Bayran's throne, most of them are "cabochon" cut.
London Geological museum : 136 cts stone.
Royal Ontario Museum of Toronto : 108 and 87 cts stones.

I hope I'd help you... but I have my doubts... :oops:

Bien amicalement (in french)

Nymphéa

G&G Subject Index

Barbra, the Winter 2004 G & G had an excellent article (with beautiful cover photo) about the discovery of fine peridot in Pakistan's Sapat Valley.

The main focus of the piece is step-by-step construction by Van Cleef & Arpels of a platinum parure featuring this excellent material. But it also offers a broad view of worldwide peridot production, with emhpasis on the Paki material and how it was cut for the jewelry suite. It has the best description of the Paki location I've found to date.

Prices of fine strongly green peridot from Pakistan have climbed enormously since 2004 -- if you can find it -- and it wasn't cheap then.

I've got a couple of Burmese stones that are the colour of those at 12, 3 and 10 o'clock in this photo. They really are something apart from the ordinary.

Most peridot is too yellowish for my taste. I did see some at Tucson one year that was much more toward Colombian emerald! Can't remember where it was from, but can remember I couldn't afford it! :P
