Peridot while an enticing colour is not especially hard being 6.5-7 on the Moh's scale, so care should be taken in the design of jewellery it is intended for.
Intense, deep, saturated olive green shades are the most popular colour at present. Pastel tones have from time to time been popular as fashions dictates. Peridot looks best in natural sunlight where the true beauty of the gem simply sparkles.
Peridot is a transparent commonly eye clean stone, and as such there is no reason to purchase an included example.
Peridot is the birthstone for those whose birthday falls in the month of August.
