in our peridot jewelry collection below!
Peridots,
also known as olivines, are beautifully transparent gemstones
that range from an exquisite yellowish green to a deep chartreuse.
The rarest peridot jewelry is a deep, pure green, and
is hardly seen anymore.
The birthstone
of August, peridot jewelry was first created on St. John's
Island, which is also known as Zebirget, in the Red Sea, as
early as 1300 B.C. Today, peridots are mined in Asia and Arizona,
and are as popular now as they were among the ancients. The
term, "green with envy" is not applicable to this lovely green
stone. Folklore has it that peridot jewelry is supposed to
free the mind of envious thoughts and that it is an aid to
friendship.
