August is here, and every woman deserves her birthstone.
Often called the "volcanic gem," peridot usually forms in the rocks created by violent volcanic activity. On rare occasions, peridot also has been found in meteorites that have fallen to earth. Peridot has a history dating back well over 3,500 years. It was first mined on the Isle of Serpents in the
Red Sea.
Care: Peridot does not react well to heat. Avoid sudden temperature changes. Peridot should never be cleaned with a steam cleaner or an ultrasonic cleaning machine. Peridot can be cleaned with most any commercial jewelry cleaner or mild soap and lukewarm water using a soft brush. Be sure to rinse and dry your jewelry thoroughly after cleaning.
We have geniune peridot jewelry starting at $125.
Receive a free jewelry clean with the purchase of a peridot during the month of August.
