Peridot

At Joyaux™ Genève, we proudly offer a stunning collection of natural Peridot, celebrated for its vibrant green hues and golden undertones. Known in ancient times as “Chrysolite,” meaning “golden stone” in Greek, Peridot has been cherished throughout history for its unique beauty and shimmering brilliance. Our Peridots, sourced from the finest mines around the world, including the volcanic regions of Myanmar, Pakistan, Vietnam and Nigeria, are carefully selected to ensure only the highest quality stones are presented to our esteemed clients.

Peridot’s enchanting color, often described as the green of an olive with a hint of golden light, has captivated humanity for thousands of years. The gemstone’s history dates back over 4,000 years, with ancient Egyptians mining it on the mystical island of Zabargad. They believed Peridot to be the “gem of the sun,” protecting its wearer from the terrors of the night and bringing prosperity and happiness.

In medieval times, crusaders brought Peridot to Europe, where it adorned many religious artifacts and church treasures. The stone’s luminous green was thought to symbolize the verdant promise of paradise. One of the most famous Peridots in history is believed to be the 200-carat gem adorning the Shrine of the Three Holy Kings in Cologne Cathedral.

Peridot has also been associated with various legendary figures. The ancient Romans were so enamored with its glowing green beauty that they named it the “Evening Emerald,” as it retained its vivid color under artificial light. Cleopatra, known for her love of emeralds, was said to have adorned herself with Peridots, often mistaken for emeralds, to enhance her allure and regal presence.

In the realm of modern jewelry, Peridot has found a resurgence in popularity. Designers from renowned houses like Bulgari and Harry Winston have embraced Peridot for its fresh, vibrant look, creating stunning pieces that highlight its unique color and brilliance. This gemstone’s ability to blend seamlessly with both white and yellow gold, as well as its compatibility with other gems, makes it a versatile choice for contemporary and classic designs alike.

Peridot is a member of the olivine family, known for its high transparency and striking green shades. Its color can range from pale lime green to deep olive, with the finest stones exhibiting a rich, golden-green hue. Despite its relative hardness, rated at 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, Peridot is known for its crisp and clean appearance, often free from inclusions, making it ideal for fine jewelry.
