Where does it come from?
Today, peridots can be found in Myanmar as well as in South Africa, Australia, Brazil, China, Eritrea, the United States, Kenya, Mexico, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Tanzania.
How to care for my Peridot-set jewelry?
Some Peridots can be damaged by physical and thermal shocks. Dish soap and water on a microfiber cloth will be enough to restore your stone's brilliance.
