Summer is reminiscent of lush green lawns and verdant fields that shimmer with abundance; of bright lime fruits with their citrusy scents - all of which are the color of peridot. Is it any wonder that this beautiful stone is the perfect addition to your summer ensemble? Peridot is the national gem of Egypt and is heralded as the ‘gem of the Sun.’ In fact, historians are sure that they were Queen Cleopatra’s preferred gem of choice. Well, we’re certainly on board with this gem.

What Does Wearing Peridot Jewelry Say About Your Personality?

Peridots give off a warm and inviting glow. The ancient Romans nicknamed them the 'evening emerald' as they kept their shine even in the dark. With a rating of 7 on the Mohs scale, it is also relatively sturdy and can be worn by those who are free-spirited and want to flaunt it effortlessly without too much fuss. The stone is synonymous with vitality and joy. It is ideal to bring happiness and peace to every personality type but is especially perfect for the woman who isn’t afraid to be joyful and experience life to its fullest.

Is It Okay to Wear a Peridot Ring, Necklace, and Earrings Together? 

While peridots are known for their vibrant color, you can combine different peridot jewelry pieces as long as they're minimalistic and don't overshadow your personality. It's essential to ensure your clothing remains clean and neutral. If you're going for an extravagant outfit, it's best to stick to just one peridot jewelry piece to avoid overwhelming your look. Mixing metals is possible, but make sure the styles are also in sync; a sleek contemporary necklace may not complement ornate vintage earrings.

Why Is Peridot the Perfect Gemstone to Wear on a Bright, Sunny Day?

Peridot, with its light and summery essence, adds a bold and adventurous pop of color—quite distinct from the deeper, more subdued green of an emerald. This makes it an ideal choice for those who want to pair it with a floral summer dress or a retro jumpsuit. Notably, it is also the only gemstone that comes in one color, so you know what to expect. Unlike most other precious or semi-precious stones, like diamonds, peridots aren't influenced by light. This means they maintain the same hue, sparkle, and consistency outdoors as they do under the artificial lighting of a store or your home.

How Do I Style Peridot for a Beach Outing?

If you're picking a gemstone for the beach, peridot is the perfect choice. Its vibrancy rivals even your sarongs and hats for attention. Wear it with brightly colored bathing suits and tank tops. Since you'll likely be showing off your arms, bracelets, and rings are especially great options. A fun fact: St. John’s Island near Egypt continues to produce some of the world's finest peridots, making them the ultimate 'beach stone' in every sense.
