Buying guide
Peridot is the gem form of olivine and one of the few gems that comes in only one color family: green, from yellowish lime to a deeper olive green. It is the birthstone for August. Peridot rates about 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, softer than sapphire, so earrings are a good use for it: they take fewer knocks than rings. Avoid sudden temperature changes and harsh cleaners, and wipe the studs with a soft cloth after wear.
Every pair comes in white, yellow or rose gold (10K, 14K or 18K), platinum, or silver. White metals give a cool frame; yellow and rose gold warm the color of the stone. Sizes run from 0.5 to 10 carats total weight for the pair, so you can pick a small, quiet stud or a large one that is easy to see across a room.
A basket setting holds the stone in prongs joined by a thin rail of metal below it, so the stone sits securely and close to the ear while light still reaches it from the sides. It is a clean, classic stud that pairs well with other earrings and works for everyday wear. Prices start under $200 in silver, and most gold and platinum pairs are about $400 at the smallest size.
