Peridot Rings, Custom Gold Or Sterling Silver Peridot Gemstone Rings

When the mineral olivine is found in a natural green or yellowish green color, it is called 'peridot'. This is one gemstone that has been known and mined for thousands of years. While some of the popularity of peridot could be attributed to the fact that it is a birthstone, the gem has many more impressive features. Wearing a peridot ring as a birth stone jewel would mean that you were born in the month of August. The birthstone charts list peridot as the birthstone for the month of August. You can email the Kaisilver team at sales@kaisilver.com experts if, you have any queries related to gems and jewelry.

This gemstone was often mistaken for emerald, and this was exactly happened with the well known Egyptian - Cleopatra. Historic records tell us that Cleopatra was a fan of emerald, her gem collection included some of the most exotic 'emerald' gems. As time when buy and gemology developed into a science, many of her emeralds turned out to be peridot. It is very unlikely that your peridot ring would create such confusion today, emerald and peridot are distinctly different and even a fair knowledge of gemstones will ensure that you do not confuse these two gorgeous gems.

PERIDOT HISTORY

The earliest mining information relating to peridot tells us that, fine peridot was mined on the St.John's island in the Red Sea. Since this island is not far away from the Egyptian coast, it is quite understandable if Cleopatra came into close and frequent contact with the gemstone. The peridot mines on the island were closely guarded and scary stories were woven around the site. Many people believed that the island was infested with poisonous snakes, and this helped kept many gem hunters away. Coming back to the present, the chance of your peridot ring having a gem mined in Egypt are near to nil. No peridot of commercial significance has been output from the Egyptian mines in the past couple of centuries.

PERIDOT SOURCES

The gem and jewelry markets today rely on China for affordable and attractive peridot gemstones. More than 95% of gold or 925 silver peridot rings crafted today, would have peridot that is mined in China. Since none of us would have been born when the St.Johns island peridot mines were active, we will not worry about making a comparison between Chinese Peridot and peridot mined from the island. A typical feature of Chinese peridot is a yellowish-golden visibility in the green color of the gemstone. This color mixture is what seems to add life to the gemstone. Kaisilver custom peridot rings are designed and crafted with peridot from the Chinese mines. If you had to evaluate the features of this peridot and compare it with the price tag - you cannot deny the good value that they provide. And what if you wish to get a peridot ring that, has a gem origin other than China. Keep reading and we will let you know what your options are.

At this point in time, there are two other sources for peridot gems, Pakistan and Burma. With political safety and general security still in a developmental stage in both nations, gem output for peridot is quite limited. If you wish to get peridot from one of these locations for your peridot ring, let us know and we can procure and custom cut the gemstone for you. Just keep in mind that the cost of the gem can be around 15 to 25 times more, than what you would pay for a Chinese peridot stone of similar size and shape. But even if you can afford this premium cost, there are a few more things that you should know about. Burmese and Pakistani peridot generally do not show the yellowish flashes that are visible in peridot from China. Fine inclusions that appear like silk threads are also a natural part of peridot mined in these places.

KAISILVER PERIDOT

There is no denying the fact that, peridot enjoys the limelight showered on most green or blue gemstones.

Putting it in simple terms, the gold or silver peridot ring that you get from Kai Silver will have a natural and untreated peridot gem.
