Peridot
Peridot comes in various shades of green, starting from a pale yellow/green colour to a vibrant apple green. The most rare forms of peridot are the Cat’s Eye Peridot and the Star Peridot.
The word peridot can also be know as Olivine. The word peridot is derived from the Greek word peridona which means to give richness.
Peridot is the national stone of Lanzarote, they call it Olivine.
Ancient Romans were very fond of the peridot stone and nicknamed the ‘evening emerald’ as peridot will not change colour even in artificial light.
Peridot is a great colour to mix with Sky and Navy blue colours, which works well with the current colour blocking trends.
We have various peridot gemstone items of jewellery in stock and can always cater to your bespoke requirments.
Here are a couple of our peridot jewellery range.
