The Japanese name for peridot is kanran stone.
橄欖 refers to olives.
In mineralogy, it is called olivine, but this etymology comes from olive.


The word peridot is said to be derived from the Arabic word faridat, which means gemstone.


In the ancient Egyptian dynasty, it is said that the image of this jewel was likened to the national symbol "Sun God" and worshiped.




Peridot History



In ancient times, it was discovered in the ancient Greek and Roman era on St. John's Island in the Red Sea, which separates the current northeastern part of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
In the ancient Egyptian dynasty, which worshiped the sun god, the golden color found in this gemstone was revered as a stone that symbolizes Ra, the sun god, who is also a symbol of the nation. It is said to blow away the darkness, become a divine light, illuminate the world, and drive away evil. Therefore, it has been prized since ancient times as a talisman to protect oneself.



About the color of peridot



The original color of peridot is colorless and transparent, but due to the inclusion of iron and nickel, it seems to change to a yellowish green or green color.


The cool yellowish light green color is very beautiful, suitable for coloring your hands and neck in the hot summer of August.

Peridot's stone word is "couple happiness".
It is said to be a stone that protects the happiness of the couple who wears it.
As it is called the sun god, it can be said that it is a stone like the sun that will warmly watch over the two of them forever.
It is also a gemstone that celebrates 15 years of marriage.


Peridot, which was a symbol of the sun god, is said to be a stone that brings hope with the brightness and power of the sun, removes negative energy, and makes dreams come true.
Since ancient times, it has been used as a talisman to protect itself from negative energy by blowing away fear and delusions of the dark.


Peridot brings bright hope and courage at any time.
It's a painful situation, but why don't you heal yourself with the bright glow of peridot?

I would like to introduce a product that uses peridot.


The "M'ama Non M'ama" collection, which means "I love you, don't you love me?" in Italian, is said to express the unpredictable essence of love. .
There are four types of bangles, rings, and earrings.
The ring of Mama Non Mama is designed so that the center stone does not protrude inside the ring and fits comfortably on the finger.
Also, it seems that the earrings were purchased by actress Yuriko Ishida for her birthday!
The charm of Pomellato's Mama Non Mama is introduced in the Lily Closet of Photo Essen collection, so please take a look at that as well.
