Peridot Vietnamese Loose Gemstone

Peridot sold as a loose gemstone, so you can choose the weight and the setting yourself.

About peridot

Peridot is an olive-to-lime-green gemstone and the traditional birthstone for August. In tradition it is linked with joy, renewal and abundance. In Jyotish, it is the gem linked with Budh (Mercury) in some traditions. Vedic practice normally starts with a horoscope review by a qualified astrologer before a gemstone is chosen. The associations are traditional and symbolic, and no outcome is promised.

Setting and wearing

Set the stone in a ring, pendant or bracelet of your choice. A setting that lets the stone touch the skin is a common choice, along with the day, finger and metal an astrologer recommends.

Care

Give it an occasional wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Durable enough for regular wear, though sprays, perfume and knocks can still dull or damage it.

Gifting

Gems are given at birthdays and milestones, and are most appreciated when the recipient's chart has been considered.

Photos are a guide: gemstones differ a little in colour, clarity and inclusions from piece to piece. Colour can also look different under daylight and indoor light. Please ask before ordering if you need certificate or treatment details for this gem.

A common pre-purchase question: check the listing details and photos first, then message us if anything is unclear.

FAQs

How do I choose the weight?

The right weight comes down to budget, how large you want the stone to look and, if you follow astrology, your astrologer's guidance. Some astrologers relate the Ratti weight to body weight; others use different rules, so recommendations vary.

Should I wear it without consulting an astrologer?

Gemstone astrology suggests that suitability depends on your horoscope. Most wearers check with an astrologer beforehand; a report can be booked on Brahmatells.

Is a certificate included?
