Choosing Peridot Jewellery
Peridot is one of the few gemstones found in only one colour — a vivid yellow-green, sometimes described as olive or lime. Bright and cheerful, it's been worn since ancient Egypt and looks especially good in yellow gold, though it suits silver too. Ours is set into handmade pieces at the bench in Ditchling.
Prices start at around £80 for a faceted birthstone earring and rise to around £2,800 for gold cluster and Water Bubbles rings, with most pieces between £99 and £540. The collection runs across rings, stud and drop earrings, pendants and birthstone designs in sterling silver and 9ct gold.
As the birthstone for August and the gem of the 16th wedding anniversary, peridot is a popular choice for late-summer birthdays. Because everything is handmade at our Sussex workshop, we can set a particular peridot, work with one you already own, or design something bespoke. Gold pieces carry a 10-year guarantee and silver a 2-year guarantee, with free re-polishing for life.
Frequently Asked Questions
What colour is peridot?
Peridot is always a green stone — a bright, slightly yellowish olive-green that's quite unlike any other gem. The most prized stones have a rich, pure green with no brown, and the colour looks especially vivid set in yellow gold.
Is peridot a birthstone?
Peridot is the birthstone for August and the gemstone traditionally given for a 16th wedding anniversary, which makes it a popular choice for late-summer birthdays.
Is peridot suitable for everyday wear?
Peridot is moderately hard and wears well in earrings, pendants and rings worn with a little care. As it's slightly softer than sapphire we'd suggest removing rings for heavy manual tasks, and we're happy to clean and check any piece we've made.
Can you make bespoke peridot jewellery?
Absolutely. We can design a bespoke peridot piece, source a particular stone, or set a peridot you already own, all handmade at our Sussex workshop. Gold pieces carry a 10-year guarantee and silver 2 years, with free re-polishing for life.
