Large Open Peridot Ring (August Birthstone)
There's something truly special about wearing a piece of jewellery that has been made with love and care, like this natural peridot copper open ring. Handmade to perfection, every piece is a unique work of art that captures the beauty of the raw and unpolished gemstones, measuring 12-14mm each.
Please allow 3-5 working days for you ring to be made in your size.
And thanks to the copper electroforming process used to create these rings, each piece has a unique and unpredictable texture that adds to its individuality and charm.
This ring is a wonderful solution for anyone with arthritis or other conditions that cause enlarged knuckles, as the ring can be adjusted to fit comfortably over the knuckle and then tightened around the base of the finger. And with a range of ring sizes to choose from, you're sure to find the perfect fit for you.
Each piece comes beautifully packaged and ready for gifting, complete with a relevant gemstone info card, thank you note, and care instructions. While the colour of the copper may darken over time, you can keep your ring looking as good as new with a sachet of Copperbrite, available here.
And if you're worried about copper potentially turning your skin green, simply apply a coat of clear nail polish to prevent any reaction with your skin's natural chemicals.
So why settle for ordinary jewellery when you can wear something truly special? Treat yourself or someone you love to a natural gemstone copper open ring, and enjoy the beauty of this stunning piece.
About Peridot:
The vibrant green hue of the peridot is quite unique in the world of jewellery. The gem variety of the mineral olivine, peridot was first mined by the Ancient Egyptians. They worshipped the gems, believing them to be “gems from the sun”. In 2006 NASA’s Explorer spacecraft, Stardust, embarked on a mission to gather samples from near the sun. The particles analysed upon its return included gem-quality peridot believed to be as old as our solar system, approximately 4.5 billion years. Amazing!
Samples of the verdant green gem has been discovered in meteorites that crashed to earth millions of years ago. One meteorite, unearthed in 1749 in Siberia, contained peridot crystals large enough to make into jewellery, making it the only extra-terrestrial gem that can be worn.
