Peridot Rings
Peridot Gemstone Rings
Ever wondered what the largest peridot gemstone weighs? Two peridot stones hold rank as the largest in the world. One is currently on display at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC, and weighs in at a whopping 311 carats; miners found it on Zabargad Island in Egypt around 1500 B.C. The other peridot comes in a distant second at 192+ carats and is part of Russia's Diamond Fund in the Kremlin Armoury.
Now can you imagine those as rings? It may be a while until a 200ct. peridot ring is available to purchase. Still, there's a wide selection of high-quality stones available now with settings that are both eye-catching and fashionable. Try a vintage look with a pink sapphire and peridot flower dome ring in white gold. Trés chic!
Who says engagement rings need to be a diamond solitaire? She'll say "yes" before you even put the ring on her finger. Take a unique (and luxurious) approach to your nuptials when you propose with a triangular peridot ring surrounded by round brilliant-cut diamonds, set in white gold.
Have a friend or loved one with an August birthday? A statement cocktail ring with vibrant green gemstone is a fantastic surprise for that special person. Or the green-apple hue of a square cushion-cut peridot ring framed by diamonds should do the trick for a more formal gift.
