Classic peridot in a unique faceted saucer cut is ideal for a myriad of design styles. Add a group of saucers to a wire bead link and create a delicate, stand out focal or add to earring designs for extra shimmer.
Want to evoke the royal energies of Ancient Egypt? Peridot gemstone beads are the way! Though translated texts often describe Cleopatra and other Egyptian Pharaohs adorning themselves in emeralds, they were likely wearing Peridot gemstones. Peridot mining in Egypt goes back at least 3500 years, and Peridot gemstones feature prominently in jewelry and decorative arts of the ancient world and onwards. We think peridot beads are truly a classic and should feature in everyone’s collection!
Peridot, also known as chrysolite, is one of few gemstones that occur in only a single colorway - shades of green. Sometimes leafy green and summery, sometimes olive and mossy, Peridot gemstone beads are always gorgeous! The faceted cuts have wonderful sparkle and the smooth cuts have a warm, lustrous glow.
Peridot is the gemstone quality version of a mineral group called Olivine. Olivine often forms in basalts and volcanic areas, and its color comes from variations in iron levels. Olivine and peridot content cause one of only four green sand beaches in the world - Papakolea on the island of Hawai’i. Peridot can be found all over the world but is often sourced from the San Carlos Apache Reservation in Arizona.
Metaphysically, Peridot is believed to be a protective stone and cleanse negative energies. It is thought to be a great harmonization stone, and bring about positivity for its wearer. Peridot is the birthstone for August.
