Peridot Jewellery – August's Birthstone

Peridot Jewellery

Peridot is one of the most fascinating green gemstones in the world—known for its intense olive-green to emerald-green colour and its vibrant sparkle in the light. As the birthstone for August, it symbolizes freshness, joie de vivre, and positive energy. At Velur, you’ll find high-quality peridot jewellery in two elegant finishes: gold vermeil (925 sterling silver with a 14K gold plating) and 14K solid gold. Each piece is personally designed by our founder, crafted by the finest goldsmiths, and comes with a lifetime warranty—with no middlemen and at fair prices.

Gold Vermeil or 14K Solid Gold—Which Goes Best with Your Peridot?

Both versions use real gold—the difference lies in their construction:

The peridot’s vibrant green colour harmonizes particularly well with yellow gold and highlights the gemstone’s natural freshness and lively radiance. If you’re looking for high-quality peridot jewellery with an elegant gold finish, gold vermeil offers a stylish alternative with a core of 925 sterling silver—durable, high-quality, and versatile. Both versions are made from recycled gold and certified sources.

Genuine Peridot – Quality That Lasts

Jewellery featuring genuine peridot, with no compromises—that’s Velur’s standard for materials, craftsmanship, and quality control. Here’s what that means in practice:

• Every peridot stone is examined under a microscope for colour, hue, and inclusions
• Each frame is digitally optimized before it is manufactured
• Every surface is inspected multiple times before a piece of jewellery leaves our workshop.
• Lifetime warranty against all defects in materials and workmanship

Peridot is a variety of the mineral olivine—a green gemstone that derives its characteristic colour exclusively from iron, without any other trace elements. Unlike emeralds or other green gemstones, peridot comes only in shades of green—ranging from a delicate olive green to an intense emerald green. The most sought-after peridots come from Pakistan and Myanmar, where particularly intense and clear stones are found.

What distinguishes a genuine peridot:

• Colour – olive green to emerald green, depending on iron content and location
• Transparency – High-quality peridots are exceptionally clear and sparkling
• Cut – usually cut into an oval or cushion shape to best showcase the gemstone's colour
• Hardness – 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale; durable enough for everyday jewellery
• Rarity – intense, deep-green, jewellery-quality peridots are rare and valuable

Peridot as a Gift – Meaning & Occasions

Peridot is the birthstone for August and symbolizes freshness, growth, and positive life energy. Peridots are often associated with sunlight and summer—which makes genuine peridot jewellery one of the most personal and vibrant gifts you can give.

Suitable occasions:

• Engagement or Anniversary – A Unique Alternative to Traditional Gemstones

• Just because—because real peridot jewellery doesn't need a special occasion

Every Velur piece of jewellery comes with a lifetime warranty—which makes Peridot jewellery not only beautiful but also a lasting investment.

Peridot Cleaning & Care

Peridot is durable, but it needs to be handled properly:

• Clean with a soft cloth and lukewarm water
• No ultrasonic cleaners—peridot is sensitive to strong vibrations
• Avoid acids and harsh cleaning agents—they can damage the surface of the stone
• Store separately—do not store together with harder gemstones
