Is peridot a good stone for an everyday necklace?

It is fine for light wear but not ideal for daily use. Peridot rates about 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, so it scratches and chips more easily than quartz or sapphire. Take the pendant off for gym, garden and cleaning work.

What is peridot the birthstone for?

August. It is also a traditional gift for a 16th wedding anniversary, which makes this pendant a common birthday or anniversary pick.

Will the sterling silver tarnish?

Yes. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver with copper alloy, and the copper reacts with air and skin oils. Store it in a dry pouch and polish with a silver cloth; keep it away from perfume and chlorine.

Does the pendant come with a chain?

That depends on the listing. Check whether a chain is included and what length and metal it is before buying, since many pendants are sold as the stone and bail only.

How do I check the peridot is real?

Real peridot is olive-green with slight natural inclusions and no sharp color zoning. A jeweler can confirm it in minutes, and a stamped 925 mark on the silver is a good sign.

Our take on the STERLING SILVER PERIDOT PENDANT

A single green peridot set in a sterling silver pendant, sold unbranded. Peridot is the August birthstone, so it doubles as a birthday gift. The stone is soft (6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale) and chips more easily than sapphire or diamond, so it suits occasional wear better than daily wear. No price or size details are given, so compare the gram weight and stone carat against other sterling peridot pendants before buying.
