Information about the gems used in this ring:
Peridot is one of the gemstones for August, along with spinel and sardonyx. It is a variety of the mineral olivine, with a vivid green colouring and is one of the few gemstones which only comes in one colour. Its colour is caused by iron ions and can vary from a yellow-green to a brownish-green depending on the amount of iron present. Peridot was known as ‘the sun gem’ by ancient Egyptians. It is also known for being formed under extreme conditions, as it can be found in the hardened lava that carried it from deep within Earth’s mantle as well as in meteorites that travelled from outer space, cool!
Pearl, along with alexandrite is the birthstone for June. Pearl gemstones come in a range of colours and sizes. They are formed by living organisms within the soft tissue layer of molluscs – pearls are the only gemstone to come from a living creature! The colours of pearls are caused by the inside colour of the shell it is formed in.
