Jewellery Making With Peridot

Peridot is such a pretty gemstone and one which is adored by jewellers. Peridot is the birthstone of August, making it a great gift idea for a loved one - you can find a range of jewellery making kits on our website, with step by step instructions and a one-click shopping list.

Peridot was known as the sun-gem by ancient Egyptians and it's believed to be an uplifting stone, bringing compassion and harmony to those who wear it. Another fun fact about peridot is that it's an extraterrestrial stone, as peridot crystals have been found on meteorites - it's a gemstone which is totally out of this world!

Today we want to share with you a range of beautiful jewellery designs using peridot cabochons, faceted stones, briolette beads and more. We hope it gives you plenty of new ideas for your future jewellery designs.
