Peridot jewelry brings the bright yellow-green of olivine mineral to your collection. This gemstone forms deep in the Earth's mantle and reaches the surface through volcanic activity. With a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, peridot holds up well in rings, pendants, and earrings for regular wear. Our collection features natural peridot stones set in .925 sterling silver. We source these gems from deposits in Arizona, Pakistan, and Myanmar, where the mineral occurs in basalt formations.

Peridot rates 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. This makes it suitable for earrings, pendants, and occasional-wear rings. For rings worn daily, consider protective settings that shield the stone from impact.
Iron content determines peridot's color intensity. Higher iron concentration produces deeper olive green, while lower amounts create lighter yellow-green tones. Both variations are natural and untreated.
Warm soapy water and a soft brush work best. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and steam cleaning, as rapid temperature changes can damage the stone. Keep peridot away from harsh chemicals and acids.
