Buying guide

About peridot

Peridot is one of the few gems that comes in only one color family, green, from yellowish to olive tones. It rates about 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, softer than sapphire or ruby, so earrings are a good fit: they take far fewer knocks than a ring. Keep peridot away from harsh chemicals and clean it with mild soap and warm water.

The cushion cut and basket setting

A cushion cut is a square with rounded corners and broad facets, which spreads peridot's green evenly across the stone. The basket setting holds each gem on prongs joined by an open cage underneath. The stud sits close to the ear and light reaches the stone from the sides, keeping the green bright.

Picking a size and metal

Peridot's bright green reads well even in small sizes, which makes the lower carat options a good daily stud and an easy August birthday gift.

  • Yellow gold brings out the warm, golden side of peridot.
  • White gold, platinum or silver makes the green look cooler and crisper.
  • Rose gold gives a softer contrast. Gold comes in 10K, 14K or 18K.

Prices start under $200, and most options sit just under $400.
