How to wear it Slide the adjustable band gently to fit your finger, avoiding repeated hard bending, which can weaken the silver over time. Many people wear peridot as a bright, everyday piece meant to encourage a fresh start, or set it aside during meditation focused on letting go of old patterns. Care & cleansing Peridot handles brief water contact reasonably well, but it is sensitive to sudden temperature swings and to acids and harsh chemicals, so it's best to remove the ring before swimming, showering, or applying lotion and perfume. To cleanse its energy, many people rinse it briefly under cool water, use gentle smoke, or leave it near selenite. Because this piece is natural and rough, exact color, shape, and size vary from ring to ring — yours will be unique and may differ slightly from the photo. Store in a dry pouch away from harder stones.
