Composants en Péridot pour la création de bijoux DIY en pierres naturelles

Peridot is one of the few gemstones that comes in just one color: green. But what a green! From soft, translucent green to deep olive green, each stone is an invitation to light. Its natural transparency and slightly golden lustre make it the perfect material for jewelry.

Peridot, also known as "evening emerald", is a gem steeped in history and symbolism.

In DIY, Peridot goes well with gold finishes (fine gold or Gold Filled) for a warm, sunny look. For a cooler, more contemporary look, cooler 925 silver or stainless steel contrast with its acid green. You can also combine Peridot with other natural gemstones, such as Citrine for a vitaminized effect, or Moonstone for a softer, gentler creation.

3 DIY jewelry ideas with peridot

• The peridot beaded summer bracelet : string 4 or 6 mm round beads on a strong elastic thread. Add a few rose quartz or rock crystal beads to lighten the ensemble. The result is a delicate, luminous bracelet, perfect for summer.
• The necklace with faceted drops: faceted peridot drops can easily become the centerpiece of a piece of jewelry! Add 4 or 5 to the center of a pearl necklace and you've got a chic statement piece!
• The peridot & citrine gold set: combine peridot pearls or cabochon with citrine components and fine gold plating. The combination of the two greens and yellows creates a warm, sunny palette that's very much on trend.

Care for your Peridot components

Peridot has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale. Although hard-wearing, it is sensitive to thermal shock and aggressive chemicals. To preserve the brilliance of your components, we recommend gentle cleaning with soapy water and drying with a soft cloth.
