Why Choose a Peridot Ring?

The green peridot ring is a popular jewelry style, loved for its enchanting looks and aesthetic appeal. The effervescent shades of radiant green chrysolite ring recreate a gleaming history and symbolize compassion that evokes good health brings peace in relationships, supports restful sleep, detoxifies metabolism, and has deep impacts on the mind, including improving communication, intellect, language, etc. Besides channeling these good vibes, the unique peridot rings attract love, relieve anger, and bring a sense of maturity to the wearer’s life.

The gem receives its name from the French word péridot meaning gold. However, the gem is also said to have taken its name from the Arabic word “faridat” meaning gem. The uncertainty of the origin adds a mysterious charm to peridot gemstone rings and implies that the gemstone may have had its roots in ancient systems.

Benefits of Peridot Stone Ring

The discovery of new deposits around the world has made peridot a mainstream gemstone, attracting sincere interest from gem collectors and astrologers worldwide. Their benefits in today's modern era have been recognized substantially, making them even more attractive.

• Astrological Benefits

  : In astrology, peridot is closely associated with the planet Mercury, which harbors intelligence and skills. And because Mercury is the ruling planet of Peridot, it is sometimes referred to as the stone of "quick wit". Peridot ring benefits include improving the functioning of the brain, spine, and communication of individuals. It is important to ensure that the planet Mercury is rightly placed in your birth chart. People impacted by bad mercury placement can suffer from speech problems, brain freeze, and financial loss. But if peridot is your birthstone and you wear a peridot ring (after consultation with astrologers) in "mahadasha" (the right planet transition), these chrysolite stone rings will bless you with practicality, the ability to make the right decisions and strengthen your cognitive capacities.

• Therapeutic Benefits

  : The color green is the symbol of beginnings and celebrations, the cycle of continuation, or rejuvenation, as well as healing. Therefore, the benefits of peridot stone automatically increase when one wants to obtain therapeutic benefits from peridot stone. Peridots have a plethora of positive therapeutic benefits, ranging from assisting in relaxation to providing relief from acute stress, releasing blocked emotions, and reducing toxins.

• Psychological Benefits

  : Apart from looking stunning with any outfit, untreated and unheated natural peridot stone rings can help to strengthen the bond between body and mind. They have miraculous energies, having the capacity to endow wearers with clarity in decisions, quick witness, and much more.

Peridot Ring Quality

Although the peridot stone ring has been available for a long time, its existence in history was never studied as deeply as other green-colored precious or semi-precious gemstones like emerald, alexandrite, garnet, or jade. These days, modern mineralogy has identified traces of the green peridot ring dating back to the earliest civilizations (exact origin is uncertain). As per historical records, the genuine peridot ring was highly prized in Ancient Egypt and Greece for its protective powers. The Greeks called peridot "the Gem of the Sun." These celebrated sites have also produced quality peridot stones suitable to be carved in a ring and substantially increasing their worth.

Besides these, Four Cs- Carat, Color, Clarity, Cut also have deep impacts on the pricing of peridot engagement rings.

• Color

  : By its virtue, peridot occurs only in one color: green, though there may be shades of green. But peridot will never have a strikingly unrecognizable variation other than green. If properly cut, the chrysolite ring displays remarkable inherent beauty and radiant brilliance of green hues, making it incredibly prized as a jewelry stone globally.

• Cut & Shape

  : Selecting the cut and shape of a peridot ring, such as a 5-carat oval-shaped peridot ring, cushion-cut peridot ring, or pear-shaped peridot ring, also adds a striking difference to the prices to be paid by interested buyers. For example, an emerald-cut peridot ring is relatively more expensive than an oval or round-shaped peridot ring. The second preference is the choice of metal. These days, buyers are keenly interested in buying rose gold peridot rings over conventional metal choices like peridot sterling silver rings or white gold peridot rings.

• Clarity

  : In mineralogy, inclusion in a gemstone or mineral composition is the dirt or particles trapped inside a mineral during its formation. Peridot rings may show inclusions like biotite, chromite, and spinel which are often called “lily pads” and may be non-visible to the naked eye. Typically, these inclusions are characteristic of peridot and make the gemstone more appealing. However, readily visible inclusions may cause a dramatic drop in the value of the peridot ring.

• Carat

  : Another important factor is observing the carat of a gemstone. In India, peridot prices are valued in Ratti. whereas in other countries, it is measured in carats. High-quality peridot of a higher Ratti/carat will always be higher. A buyer must comprehend the distinction between Ratti and Carat. (1 Ratti = 0.91 carat)

• Origin

  : Up until the early 1990s, only a few selected locations like Burma, Myanmar, and Arizona contributed to supplying 80–95% of the world’s peridots, making it a rare variety of gemstones. However, by 1994, a newly discovered mine in Pakistan near Sapat Valley introduced an extraordinary amount of gem-variety peridots into the international markets. The peridot discovered near Sapat valley (situated in the western Himalayas) produced far cleaner, larger, and more uniformly colored peridot clusters.
  The availability of cleaner peridot clusters in large quantities from these sites allowed jewelry makers to craft relatively clean-faceted peridot gemstone rings priced much higher than the peridot ring price from other sources like Myanmar, Vietnam, China, South Africa, or Afghanistan.

The ultimate value of gemstones is determined not only by the mineral quality they are composed of but also by the selection of intricately designed jewelry suites in which they are mounted. The Peridot wedding ring is a fine example of such laudable craftsmanship. Assembling a set of unique peridot rings is a time-consuming process that demands sterling hand control and takes years of practice to perfect. It is one of the reasons why these chrysolite rings have attracted worldwide notability today. Another reason for their popularity is their quality.

Typically found in large quantities in lava and peridotite xenoliths of the earth’s mantle, the best quality peridot gemstone primarily comes from productive sources like Burma, China, Vietnam, the United States, Finland, Pakistan, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Arizona, Zabargad, Ethiopia, etc. Their mass availability is the reason why the Peridot stone ring designs are easily available in national and international markets at affordable prices.

Peridot Ring Buyer Beware

An unskilled lapidary done by non-skilled cutters can ruin the symmetry and color orientation of the peridot ring, resulting in a dull and unattractive final product. Another important concern is that a huge number of fake gemstone providers have swarmed the markets today. In many cases, synthetic corundum and other green-colored glass, as well as zirconia, may be passed off as peridot. These fraudsters take unfair advantage of the lack of knowledge of customers related to price, quality, carat, weight, size, cut, and clarity and sell the buyers synthesized or lab-created peridot gemstone rings. While synthetic peridot chrysolite stone rings may be economically viable, they have little or no aesthetic value at all.

Therefore, it is highly recommended to take several precautionary steps before investing in buying expensive peridot rings. Only after a short and careful inspection should you hire a certified gemstone provider who invests sincere efforts in sourcing the best gem-quality peridot crystals and can even design men’s or women’s peridot rings exactly how you want.
