Frequently Asked Questions
Is this peridot natural and untreated?
Yes. This is a 100% natural peridot gemstone. Peridot is one of the few precious stones that is rarely, if ever, subjected to heat treatment or enhancement — what you see is the gem exactly as nature intended, with its characteristic yellowish-green brilliance wholly its own.
Is a 2.22-carat peridot suitable for everyday jewellery wear?
Peridot registers between 6.5 and 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it a durable choice for most fine jewellery applications. For pieces worn frequently — such as rings — a protective setting style such as a bezel or halo is recommended to safeguard the stone’s edges and preserve its beauty over time.
What metal pairings work best with a yellowish-green peridot?
This stone’s warm yellowish-green hue is exceptionally versatile. Yellow gold enhances its rich, sunlit tones for a harmonious, classic look, while white gold or platinum creates a cooler contrast that allows the stone’s vivid colour to take centre stage. Rose gold offers a romantic, contemporary pairing that complements the gem’s natural warmth beautifully.
