Natural peridot, the August birthstone, on a design that feels light and a little different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe ring is built from multiple slim bands rather than one, and the peridot bridges the gap between them at an angle, so the stone looks like it's floating in the opening. Three claws hold it and nothing else competes, which keeps the whole thing open and airy on the finger. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe stones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeridot:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural, pear cut, 7 x 5mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9ct yellow gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three-claw, across a split double band\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout peridot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeridot is the gem form of a mineral called olivine, and it's one of the very few stones that comes in only one colour. Most gems get their colour from a stray trace of something else in the crystal, but peridot's green is built into the stone itself, set by the iron in its make-up, which is why it holds that steady olive-to-lime green rather than drifting from one stone to the next. It forms deep in the earth's mantle and is carried up by volcanoes, and a little has even turned up inside meteorites. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBirthstone: \u003c\/strong\u003eAugust\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCome and see it in the cabinet at Craigieburn.
