Peridot
Peridot Jewellery
Peridot is a vibrant and refreshing gemstone, celebrated for its distinctive lime-green to olive-green colour and natural brilliance. Known as the gemstone of light, peridot has been cherished for centuries for its bright, uplifting appearance and timeless charm.
At Clarindon Jewellers, we showcase peridot in beautifully crafted jewellery designed to highlight its natural colour and elegant character.
What Is Peridot?
Peridot is the gem-quality variety of olivine, a mineral formed deep within the earth’s mantle and brought to the surface through volcanic activity. Unlike many gemstones, peridot occurs in only one colour — green — though its tone can vary from yellow-green to rich olive depending on iron content.
This unique origin gives peridot both geological fascination and visual appeal.
The Colour & Appearance of Peridot
Peridot is admired for its bright, lively green colour, often described as fresh and luminous. The finest peridot gemstones display strong saturation with minimal brown or yellow tones and excellent transparency.
Its crisp colour makes peridot particularly striking when set in fine jewellery.

Durability & Wearability

With appropriate care, peridot jewellery maintains its colour and polish beautifully over time.
