Peridot Rings

The peridot is an olive green gemstone that is becoming more and more popular as the centrepiece for a peridot gold ring. Peridots are part of the olivine family and are rich in magnesium; however, they get their rich green colour from the iron that they contain. It is found in meteorites, lava and within the Earth’s mantle. Peridots are found all over the world, but the best quality stones usually come from China, Myanmar, Pakistan and Egypt. Because the peridot can be found in abundance around the world, it can be sourced at very affordable prices. However, the best stones are found in the best green hues and with the highest brilliance and eye clean with regards to inclusions. These are the types of peridot we source here at Diamond Boutique.

The peridot is the gemstone for the month of August and is aligned with the zodiac sign of Leo so makes a perfect gift for those people with birthdays in both July and August and anyone who loves a yellowish and olive green colour. It is also the gemstone to give to your loved one on your 16th wedding anniversary. The peridot gold ring is thought to symbolise peace and harmony for those who wear it. In fact, it was used for centuries to ward off evil as people slept.

Picking a peridot gold ring can be a challenging task. You’ll firstly need to decide which colour you would like to opt for. Our Very Good quality peridots are a medium, yellowish green, whereas our Superior quality peridots are a true green colour. Our Excellent quality peridots will fall somewhere in the middle. Apple green peridots are the rarest of the peridots and therefore the most expensive. But choosing the colour of your peridot is not always about which colour is the rarest or the most expensive, it’s about choosing the colour that you prefer.

Once you have chosen the colour and thus quality of your peridot gold ring, you will then need to decide on the size of the stone and the metal for the band that you would prefer. Our peridot stone rings come in three sizes, or of course you could choose to design your own bespoke ring to opt for something outside of these parameters. Choose the largest stone to make the ring more dramatic and striking! Or choose a smaller stone to make the ring more dainty and understated. The choice is yours!

Once you have decided on a peridot stone ring and you have decided on the basics, you can look into choosing the cut of the stone that suits your preferences. Peridots allow for precise cuts, making them perfect to maximise light and brilliance. A round or oval shape may be the perfect shape for you, but we also have rings that utilise an octagon cut, cushion cut and pear shape peridots.

The peridot stone ring is not the only piece of jewellery that is available using the peridot; we also have earrings and pendants that feature this beautiful stone at their heart. Our peridot earrings include both studs and drop earrings for you to find the perfect gift for your loved one or choose a special treat for yourself.
