Natural Stones
Peridot
Set an intention to welcome new opportunities and abundance with Peridot’s vivid green.
Stone Character
Peridot is the gem variety of olivine, recognized by its fresh yellow-green to olive-green color. Unlike many stones, its color comes from the mineral's own composition rather than trace impurities.
Across Cultures & Symbolism
Peridot has been used as a gemstone since antiquity, with historic sources around the Red Sea and later trade into Mediterranean and European jewelry traditions.
Contemporary symbolic traditions commonly associate peridot with renewal, prosperity, optimism and personal growth. These associations are cultural and symbolic rather than scientific or medical claims.
Design & Assortment Inspiration
Peridot is ideal for buyers seeking a brighter green than jade or malachite. It works well in spring-summer edits and with quartz, pearl, jasper and gold-tone accents.
