Peridot (pronounced pair-a-doe), is the birthstone for August and the gem perfectly complements the Indian summer. The vivid shades of green along with dazzling diamonds are perfect for classic yet trendy jewellery.
History says that Peridots are so ancient that they has been mentioned in the Bible and were the favourite gemstone amongst Egyptian queens. The Egyptians used Peridot as a general tonic and believed that it protects the wearer from negativity and stress.
The radiant and velvety shades of green give an emerald like appearance to Peridot because of which it is also referred to as the “Evening Emerald”. The colour green and the texture which ideally complement summer and autumn have made the Peridot a popular gemstone in the world of fashions.
Peridots go very well with Earth colours and the green colour stands out exceptionally well on white-gold. More than as a solitaire, the gemstone looks good in combination with diamonds and looks pretty as pendants, rings & earrings.
