A lime-green hue that evokes the sun when the light hits, peridot is the perfect gemstone for late summer. Deriving its name from the Arabic word faridat, meaning gem, the peridot was treasured across ancient cultures, appearing in the sacred jewellery of second-century BCE priests and in the cathedrals of medieval Europe. Beyond this heritage, peridot brings freshness to any jewellery collection and pairs well with bright, warm-weather stones like spinels and citrines.
Today, this in-demand stone can be found in both high jewellery and fine jewellery pieces. Looking to shop peridot? MOJEH curates an edit fit for your collection this August.
