Peridot Jewelry

Peridot Gemstone Jewelry

Positivity, healing powers, good fortune—sometimes it is easy being green. Discovered as early as 1500 B.C., the lime-green beauty of the peridot gemstone first attracted Egyptians on St. John's Island (formerly known as Topazios) in the Red Sea. Nicknamed the "gem of the sun," peridot was said to have powers to heal the sick, bring good luck, and ward off evil spirits. These mystical virtues fascinated the Egyptian pharaohs, and they were determined to get their hands on the gems. They forbid any outsiders on the island and sent miners to collect the jewels exclusively for the pharaohs' treasuries.

Luckily there were other areas worldwide to find peridot gemstones, so now you can add the stones to your jewelry treasury. Make your ears happy with a touch of lush green when you wear a pair of dainty peridot and prasiolite drop earrings set in polished sterling silver. Add a subtle hint of glam with a peridot ring detailed with an artisanal crisscross and weave texture. There's nothing classier than the simplistic elegant style of a tennis bracelet in lush and lively green peridot rounds.

Looking for a fun detail to wear? Add lightness and joy to your life by wearing dragonfly drop earrings with peridots and Swiss blue topaz gems set in polished gold over silver.

And if a special August birthday is in your life, buy her a present she'll keep forever: a dazzling, green-apple-hued peridot ring with round brilliant-cut diamonds set in yellow gold. Here's to bright birthday wishes!
