The ancient Egyptians mined peridot on the Red Sea island of Zabargad, the source for many large fine peridots in the world’s museums. The Egyptians called it the “gem of the sun.” Today this gem is still prized for its restful yellowish green hues and long history.
This 18k gold ring features a 1.23 carat peridot surrounded by a .06 ctw halo of diamonds. Currently measures a size 6.75 and is sizable for an additional fee. Would make a wonderful gift for an August birthday or a 15th anniversary.
