Peridot is the #1 least liked birthstone! The few who love it, REALLY like the colour green.

Although you can find peridot’s in lighter shades of green, it’s usually pretty consistent in it’s colouring.

When it comes to peridot, you need a nicely cut stone or it will look like you have a piece of snot on your hand! I also think you need to wear it large or in a colour-coordinated group. By large I mean LARGE cocktail ring or necklace that has some serious wow factor. By colour-coordinated group, I mean pair it with more greens or blues that can balance the brightness of the peridot and make it look less booger-y.
