Peridot Engagement Rings & Peridot Rings

Peridot engagement rings can be very beautiful and a great alternative to traditional diamond engagement rings. Peridot rings have a quiet sophistication and a unique quality about them. The peridot is August's birthstone and one of the few gemstones to only come in one color. It's a very old gemstone dating back to

ancient Egypt and since that time has had wavering popularity.

Today however, the peridot is enjoying a strong following and people love the summery fresh and light natural qualities of this beautiful green stone.

Peridot is cut according to the shape of the original crystal and are usually formed into faceted cuts like the round, oval and princess cuts which all make beautiful engagement rings. Other cuts can be found as well, so don't get discouraged if your heart is set on a peridot but can't find the right shape. Just keep looking and you'll find the perfect one.

Peridot rings are set with both yellow gold and white gold or platinum because the color of the stone works equally well with both. We find that the yellow gold often gives the ring a richer look although the white gold settings do have a classic clean feel to them. It's really a question of personal taste.

For peridot engagement rings we usually prefer them to be set with small accent diamonds with either color gold. Something about the colorless accent stones really makes the green sparkle.

Below are some of our personal favorites which we believe any girl would love. They are all very special in their own way.
