Product Description

Peridot is a gem with a long history. The first deposits of peridot were discovered on the island of St. John 3,500 years ago, and ancient Egyptians have been wearing ornaments made of it ever since. As the national stone of Egypt, the peridot once held a revered status. It was loved and collected by pharaohs, or decorated in temples and churches, becoming a symbol of wealth and status. Cleopatra VII loved gold and jewelry throughout her life, and one of her favorite gems was peridot.

In ancient Rome, peridot was called the "Sun Stone" and used as a talisman. People believed that it had the power of the sun, that it could ward off "the fears of the night" and evil, and that it could be set in gold to bring out its full power. Ancient tribes often exchanged peridot as a token of peace when they were at war. In some temples in the Holy City of Jerusalem there are still pieces of peridot inlaid thousands of years ago.

From prayer beads in the hands of priests to the Holy Grail of medieval Europe, from the Ottoman Empire to the Victorians and Edwardians, peridot has always been prized. Especially during the reign of King Edward VII of England, he designated peridot as his favorite stone. So almost all art schools, no matter what style, would use peridot in their design. This is the main reason why Edwardian period was quite rich in peridot jewelry.
