Bezel-set Peridot Necklace: Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is the peridot in this necklace natural?
Yes. This necklace features a genuine, ethically sourced natural peridot selected for its vivid characteristic green and clarity. Peridot is a variety of the mineral olivine and one of the few gemstones that occurs in only one color, a distinctive olive-to-lime green determined by iron content.
-
What is peridot the birthstone for?
Peridot is the birthstone for August. It is also associated with the Leo and Virgo zodiac signs. It is one of the oldest known gemstones, with records of mining on the Egyptian island of Zabargad dating back over 3,500 years. Ancient Egyptians called it the gem of the sun.
-
What does peridot symbolize?
Peridot is traditionally associated with strength, good fortune, and a general vitality of spirit. In ancient times it was believed to ward off evil and bring good health. Many people today wear it as a talisman for positive energy, new growth, or a connection to the natural world.
-
Can I wear a peridot necklace every day?
Yes. Peridot rates 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for daily wear with reasonable care. The bezel setting provides additional edge protection. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh acids, which can damage peridot, and remove before activities involving heavy impact.
-
What metal pairs best with peridot?
Yellow gold is the classic and historically resonant pairing for peridot, complementing the stone's warm olive-green tones. Rose gold offers a softer, warmer look. White gold and sterling silver provide a cooler contrast that makes the green appear more vivid and saturated.
-
How long does it take to receive a custom peridot necklace?
Each piece is made to order. Please allow up to 10 business days for production. In-stock configurations may ship sooner. All US orders over $150 include free standard shipping and arrive gift-ready.
Bezel-Set Peridot Necklace
Peridot is one of the few gemstones that exists in only one color, a distinctive olive-lime green that is both earthy and bright. Ancient Egyptians called it the gem of the sun and mined it by torchlight on a volcanic island in the Red Sea. Worn at the collarbone today, this 3mm natural peridot brings the same warm, glowing quality to everyday life, a flash of something fresh and decidedly itself.
August's birthstone, peridot has long been associated with strength, good fortune, and a certain vibrancy of spirit. It is an especially fitting stone for late summer birthdays or for anyone who gravitates toward the unconventional in their jewelry choices. Made to order in your choice of 14K gold or sterling silver.
The Bezel Setting, Explained
Unlike most gemstones, which come in a range of hues, peridot is always green, but the exact shade varies from pale yellow-green to a deeper, more saturated olive depending on the iron content of the specific stone. The 3mm stone used here is selected for its vivid, characteristic peridot green, the particular tone that has made this stone instantly recognizable for thousands of years.
The bezel setting wraps a continuous rim of precious metal around the stone, holding it securely while exposing the full face of the gem. It is the most protective setting style available for an everyday necklace, and the clean metal border gives the pendant a considered, architectural quality. At 16 inches, it sits at the collarbone where the stone's unusual color reads most clearly against skin.
Why You'll Love It
- A natural 3mm peridot in a vibrant olive-lime green, one of the most distinctive and immediately recognizable stones in the birthstone calendar.
