Peridot Jewelry


Many cultures often link green with nature and renewal. This is why the color green is associated with healing and protection. The peridot – a gemstone ranging from pale to lush green – is also associated with August birthdays. That means that, if you or someone in your life has an August birthday, peridot jewelry makes for a thoughtful gift. Legend has it that the peridot gemstone wards off bad dreams. These August gemstones have long been cherished for their healing properties as well.

COLOR: Yellowish grass-green to darker olive-green. Peridot can also have brown or bright lime tones. Some say the intensity of the green color depends on the amount of iron in the gem.

DURABILITY: Fair to good toughness. Good for everyday wear.
