The clarity and appealing green color makes peridot one of the most popular gemstones for use in all kinds of jewelry. Use this princess-cut peridot on its own for a simple ring, or set it alongside gems of complementary colors in more complex designs. Peridot is one of the birthstones for August.
Peridot is the gem form of the mineral olivine. It is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one color; the green hues can vary from yellowish to brownish green, from light olive green to vibrant green. The color of each gem is a result of iron in its chemical composition. Sea Star Trading sources the highest-quality peridot gemstones available, avoiding those with visible black inclusions.
The princess is square cut and has a greater depth in order to achieve the desired brilliance.
