Graduation Gift Ideas: Peridot Engagement Rings

Engagement rings have been the ultimate symbol of love for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for peridot engagement rings is the quality of the center stone. Gemvara hand-selects top quality conflict-free gems that are expertly cut for maximum beauty. Peridot symbolizes grace under pressure. It forms in volcanoes and has even been found in meteorites, surviving the fiery plunge from space. Gemvara's peridot is a spring green with excellent brilliance. Our unrivalled selection of engagement rings by Damon Washington, Paul Bierker, David West, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find an engagement ring that perfectly symbolizes your relationship. Clean peridot engagement rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure. Be careful when removing your ring to wash your hands. Don't leave it on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Gemvara's fine quality peridot engagement rings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

A peridot symbolizes grace under pressure. It is thought to bring its wearer good luck and success, while calming nerves and dispelling negative emotions. The most important aspect to consider when buying a period is its color. Gemvara's peridot is a bright spring-green without the olive tones that can dampen this gem's sweet color. The brighter the color, the more valuable the peridot is. Cut is important as well, even more than clarity, since a well-cut peridot will shines in the light of the sun. Peridot is among the "greenest" of gems in another way too, since most peridot is mined, often by hand, by Native Americans on the San Carlos Reservation in Arizona. Peridot is the August birthstone, the zodiac stone for Leo, and the 16th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality peridot will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine peridot jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
