Gemstone Engagement and Promise Rings
What is the world without color? Without flowers, without the rainbow, or without beautiful gemstones, the world would be
a very different place. Gemstone or birthstone engagement rings are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to diamond engagement rings. Gemstone
engagement rings add a brilliant splash of color and allow more individual expression then ever before. MyJewelrySource offers a beautiful selection of truly
unique precious and semi-precious gemstone engagement rings and birthstone promise rings,
most of which are exclusively sold here.
Peridot:
Are peridots the divine tears wept by Pele, Hawaiian goddess of the volcano? Or the powerful talismans against evil of ancient Egyptian
lore? Peridot has been credited with many magical powers and healing properties. Today,
peridot is one of the most popular gemstones, prized for its fresh green color. Peridot is the
birthstone for August and the suggested gift for the sixteenth wedding anniversary. Peridots are mined in Arizona, Burma, Norway, Pakistan, among others.
Peridot rates 6 1/2 to 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness.
Enhancements: Cutting is the most
basic enhancement method necessary to display the beauty of a gemstone. Peridots are not known to have any other method of enhancement.
Peridot Care: Do not use an ultrasonic cleaner on your
peridot jewelry. Avoid sudden temperature changes, steaming and contact with
cosmetics, hairspray, perfume or household chemicals. Clean only with a damp cloth or soft brush with room temperature water.
