Things you must know before you shop for Peridot jewelry
Interesting facts:
Most peridot forms deep in the Earth's mantle and is brought to the surface by volcanic activity. Some rare specimens are extraterrestrial, found in meteorites (but those are collectors' items, not jewelry-grade).
Rich History
There is a lot more to Peridot than being a wonderful stone in 2025…
- Peridot was treasured in ancient Egypt, mined as early as 300 B.C. on Zabargad Island in the Red Sea. Known as the “gem of the sun,” it was prized for its bright green glow, even in low light, earning the nickname “evening emerald.”
- Today, peridot is used in modern fine jewelry and fashion pieces worldwide. Major sources now include Myanmar, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Finland, keeping this vibrant gemstone in global demand.
Durability and Sensibility:
Before buying or wearing peridot jewelry, it’s important to understand its physical traits and how to protect it over time. Peridot ranks 6.5–7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it durable but not indestructible.
To keep your peridot looking vibrant:
- Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh brushes that can scratch the stone.
- Stick to gentle cleaning with warm water and mild soap. No chlorine or bleach exposure please.
- Limit exposure to heat and sunlight, as too much can cause the green color to fade over time.
Don’t leave peridot in hot cars or under direct lighting for long periods
Remember, proper care keeps your gemstone sparkling for years.
