Hello everyone. Can I see your set peridots?

I bought one this last weekend and am considering what I want to do with it and I''m hoping for some ideas.

Thank you,
Layla
 
DO SHOW US! I love the one that Lauren recently had made.

sorry gypsy - not ignoring you, I just don''t have any. Did you see the ugly one in my rose gold thread? I just set in in there for kicks - it doesn''t look good.

Hi Gypsy, here''s my set. What shape did you get? Are you thinking ring or pendant?

I have a peridot on the way as well and this is a great thread!
 
I got a concave facetted oval 8 x 10. I was going to get a Lan.Bo4 setting for it-- pendant or ring. But I just decided on an etsy design instead. I don''t know. They would both work out to the similar pricing. And it''s for my mom''s birthday. She doesn''t like Peridots, she says, but all she''s seen are really washed out ones. And recently she''s been into Yurman and other silver/18K settings so I thought, though I''d prefer the diamonds and white gold... she might perfer something else.

But I wanted to see everyone''s sets (and yours are stunning) to see what I thought for sure.

The peridot is lovely indoors and in indirect light. In direct sunlight it''s got some brown/olive in it. So I thought an 18K gold bezel (with closed back) would enhance the color of the stone.

I''ve been wanting to get her peridots for a while. But as she hasn''t cared for them in the past, I don''t know.

Her wedding set it a split shank halo, a 7 stone aniversary band and two vintage style diamond bands. But her recent jewelry hasn''t been like that at all. Okay, I''m just confusing myself now. LOL.
 
I don''t have it anymore. I purchased a concave faceted peridot, set it in a ring and gifted it to my mother.
 
White gold or yellow or two tone? Solid metal or diamonds Chrono?
 
here is what I will have mine in. will be yellow gold. I don't have the two quite yet, its on its way though then I have to find someone to set it. just an idea.

I found it at artcutgems.com I really wanted a green color stone and I also wanted concave, but can''t splurge on Richard homers concave, so this was a great solution.. the setting is from LOGR for $169!... do it! get it!

That''s the one I had my eye on! LOL. And then it was gone. I''m glad it found a good home!

I''ll have to post pics of mine. I do like it quite a bit. I can''t wait to see your''s all set! I think I''m going to go with the Etsy design for this one. Hopefully she''ll like it.

I think it will look stunning, and made just for her so that will be extra sentimental.
 
Thank you DT! I hope so. If she likes it. I''m thinking of matching earrings for her and maybe a pendant.
 
WOW the cut on that stone, D&T, is spectacular. Thanks for the pic!

Peridots are kind of soft, so take care in who sets it, and afterwards, when wearing it.

I do not have any peridots to share with all of you. I should probably get one though!

thanks amethystguy, and TL. Yeah, I knew it was a pretty delicate stone, and really contemplated about putting in a pendant instead, but man with tha cut I really wanted to stare at it.

Kismet, that is sure scrumptious! i love the bezel sides and the double prongs... just so fluid!
 
Periodot ring bought at a antique jewelry show.

Here's the peridot I had made for my sister's wedding. It's a 6.6mm peridot.

Sorry for the huge pic!

That ring is something else, kismet! I love the contrast between the colors. Nice!

Lauren I love that. Where''d you get the peridot?
