Australian Peridot | 2.92ct, Freeform

• Peridot is loved for its fresh green colour, from yellow-green to richer olive and bright leaf-green tones.
• It has a cheerful, distinctive character that can feel more unusual than emerald, sapphire or tourmaline, especially in custom jewellery.
• Australian peridot is a meaningful choice for clients who value local provenance and a less common Australian gemstone story.
• With a Mohs hardness of around 6.5–7, peridot is best suited to thoughtfully designed jewellery and careful wear rather than very hard everyday use.
• We assess peridot individually for colour, clarity, cut, origin and setting suitability, so the design respects both the beauty and durability of the stone.

Is peridot suitable for an engagement ring?

Peridot can be used in an engagement ring, but it is not as durable as sapphire, ruby or diamond. It needs a protective setting, careful wear and realistic expectations. For clients who love the colour, it can be a beautiful choice, but it should be designed thoughtfully.

What colour is peridot?

Peridot is naturally green, often with yellow, olive or bright leaf-green tones. Its colour comes from the mineral itself rather than trace colouring elements, which gives peridot a recognisable fresh green character.

What does recycled peridot mean?

A recycled peridot has been removed from a previous piece or older setting and made available for new jewellery. It can be a thoughtful option for clients who value reuse, existing materials and a lower-impact approach to sourcing.

How should peridot jewellery be cared for?

Peridot should be protected from hard knocks, harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners and sudden temperature changes. Clean it gently with mild soapy water and a soft brush, and have settings checked periodically.

Peridot sourcing is about colour, provenance and suitability for the intended piece. We look for stones with appealing green colour, good cutting and a practical shape for jewellery.

Our peridot selection includes Australian peridot, including Victorian material, as well as recycled peridot. These stones suit clients who value local or reused gemstones with a distinctive green character.

Peridot is not usually chosen for maximum hardness; it is chosen for its colour and personality. We consider each stone carefully, especially when it is intended for a ring or another piece exposed to regular wear.

For custom jewellery, we favour peridot designs that protect the stone and suit how the piece will be worn. The right setting can make peridot feel vivid, personal and wearable while respecting its limits.
