As you examine peridot rings, the first thing you will likely assess is the gemstone quality. Peridot are olvine gemstones. It is not at all rare, but if you want one of the very best quality you will have to anticipate paying more for quality gemstones than those that are of a poorer quality. Peridot are green and the color's intensity will vary from one to another. The brighter and more flawless the gemstone, the higher its overall value. Sometimes you will spot inclusions in the stones set in peridot rings. The fewer there are the better. Since inclusions are not at all uncommon in the peridot, one can expect that those with a more flawless presentation are going to have a higher price tag.

If the color of the peridot is weak or dull, you are looking at a substandard gemstone. Peridot rings that host gemstones that are a rich, bright, intense lime color with very few to no inclusions are the best for an engagement ring offering. Once you spot a peridot of this nature, it's time to assess the cut. Does the ring's cut make the stone even lovelier? Is the cut something that appeals to you? If you find that you are satisfied with the ring's metal, you need to consider the stone size as well. Smaller stones are valued less than stones that are sized right around three carats; these stones can sell for hundreds of dollars.
