A simple ring is where peridot shines, and 1.8 carats is the right scale for one. In silver with four claws it sits low on the finger and keeps the green in focus; in gold the same stone looks warmer. We can discuss a custom silver ring setting on WhatsApp, with no pressure to decide quickly.

Earrings would need a matching pair, and this is a single stone, so a pendant or ring makes more sense. It rates 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, so it does well in a pendant and needs a protective setting in a ring worn daily.

It is a natural peridot, zabarjad in Urdu, from Afghanistan, green in colour. Peridot is usually left as found, so ask us what we know about this exact stone, quoting AG-00055. An independent lab test is your choice.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural peridot, known in Urdu as Zabarjad, with a weight of 1.8 Carat. Its price is Rs. 3,000 — roughly Rs. 1,667 for each carat. Origin: Afghanistan. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference AG-00055 when you message us about it. The photographs show this exact stone, so what arrives at your door is the piece you chose on screen.

Under two carats, a stone like this sits neatly in a slim ring, a stud or a delicate pendant and does not snag on sleeves. It is also where many first-time buyers begin when a stone is recommended for astrological reasons, because the total cost stays modest.

On the Mohs scale peridot rates 6.5 to 7. That is middle-of-the-road hardness: comfortable in pendants and earrings, and in rings worn with some care. Store it apart from harder stones so it does not pick up scratches, and wipe it with a damp cloth rather than scrubbing.

Whoever you buy peridot from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every peridot for those three points before it is listed, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.

We sell natural stones only and inspect each one before it is listed. Treatment for this stone: Treatment not tested. No lab report yet; independent testing welcome.
