The modern calendar mapping was standardized in 1912 by the National Association of Jewelers (now Jewelers of America) and remains the reference list used across most of the English-speaking world. Worn close to the body, a birthstone ring functions as a personal sign, the wearer's name on the calendar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout this stone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeridot is the gem variety of olivine, a magnesium-iron silicate that crystallizes deep in the earth's upper mantle and is delivered to the surface by basaltic volcanism. The world's oldest documented deposit is Zabargad island in the Red Sea, mined for at least 3,500 years, where ancient Egyptians called it the gem of the sun. Some peridot reaches the earth from space, embedded in pallasite meteorites that fall as iron-stone hybrids. The stone is 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, durable enough for daily wear, with a distinctive olive-to-yellow-green color from its iron content. Curated by a certified gemologist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and wear\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeridot is durable for daily wear but moderately sensitive to acid and harsh chemicals. Remove before applying household cleaners or pool chemicals. Clean with mild soap and warm water, dried with a soft cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e Size 7 only.
