Peridot

"A vivid lime-green gem born from volcanic fire — one of the few gemstones that forms in only one colour."

Peridot, with its vibrant lime-green hue, is a gemstone that radiates warmth and positivity. Known as the "Evening Emerald," peridot has been cherished for centuries for its distinctive colour and exceptional clarity. This beautiful gemstone — a variety of the mineral olivine — is one of the very few gemstones that forms in only one colour, its vivid green determined by the presence of iron. Peridot's captivating tones, reminiscent of a spring meadow, symbolise strength, prosperity and renewal.

Peridot's striking green colour and excellent transparency make it a popular choice for jewellery. It is commonly used in rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets, where its vibrant hue can be fully appreciated. Peridot pairs beautifully with both yellow and white metals — gold and silver alike — and is often accented with diamonds or other complementary gemstones. Its versatile character makes it equally suitable for everyday wear and special occasions.

At Karen Brand Limited, we source our peridot from the finest mines in Ethiopia. Our team ensures that each piece is ethically mined and meticulously inspected for colour intensity, clarity and quality. We offer both rough and cut peridot to suit wholesale buyers, jewellers and collectors at every level.
