If you’re the type of bride looking for something different, peridot engagement rings are worth considering. Pronounced with a silent ‘t’, peridot is known for its vibrant shade of green. Unlike emeralds, which come in a range of deeper green shades, peridot stones range from light, almost luminous green to various other shades of green. Their vibrancy is one of the things that makes these stones sought-after for jewellery. They have a hardness rating of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, making them suitable for frequently worn jewellery such as engagement rings. If you have been wondering whether this stone is right for your dream ring, read on to see how looks in a variety of ring styles.
