Peridot Engagement Ring Styles: From Vintage to Modern

Peridot may not be a gem you're overly familiar with. It certainly doesn't get as much attention as the classics, like ruby or emerald. However, this striking green gemstone is certainly worth consideration.

Bright, verdant greens and cheery yellows blend to form this gem, which dates back over 4,000 years ago. Mentioned in historical texts like the Bible, it's revered as one of the oldest known gems. The Greeks, Egyptians, and other ancient cultures favored this stone for its lush color, which occasionally produced flashes of gold. In addition, peridot has long been associated with prosperity, luck, abundance, and good fortune. Spiritually, peridot is the stone of compassion and brings good health and peace.

Why Peridot?

If you don't prefer traditional diamonds for an engagement or wedding ring, you have a wide selection of gems. However, if you're on the hunt for a sparkler with a distinguished history and an unmistakable pop of color, peridot may be the gem for you!

Peridot rings are an excellent choice because peridot has decent to good durability, rating around a seven on the Mohs scale. A peridot engagement ring is unique and eye-catching, meaning it will likely become a treasured heirloom. Furthermore, whether you want a peridot gold ring or one of a lighter color, such as platinum, there's a plethora of styles and designs to choose from.

How to Care for Peridot

Peridot is relatively strong, but you should still take care not to scratch or hit it on anything hard. If you need to clean it due to regular wear, soak it in a mixture of warm water and gentle dish soap. You can use a soft brush on the setting and stone to remove debris. Then, dry it with a lint-free cloth. Peridot should not be steamed-cleaned or placed in an ultrasonic cleaner as stone damage may result.

Fresh, eye-catching, and sentimental, peridot can make an excellent engagement ring. Whether you want to go modern or vintage, this long-loved gemstone brings a bright pop of color to any design.
