Jessa’s Peridot Wedding Ring Guard Set
Walker Goldsmiths made this beautiful Wedding Ring Guard for Jessa some time ago and it snuck past my camera then. Sometimes that happens and I’m just sick about losing a chance to photo our work, especially if it’s killer beautiful! But Jessa came back to see us the other day wanting the size changed as she’s lost a ton of weight and while we’re at it, “give her a bigger marquis Peridot.” She and her Navy husband are moving to Naples, Italy. She’s definitely going to fit right in with all those fancy Italian jewelry ladies with this ring.
Jessa’s fiancé gave her the original Peridot ring as an engagement ring and they came to us to have a Ring Guard made as a Wedding Ring. A Ring Guard is interesting because it guards and kind of wraps around a center ring and is a type of ring “enhancer”. It is usually used as a form of protection for an engagement ring. Jessa’s Peridot ring slips right down into the Wedding Ring Guard making her original ring stronger, supported and protected.
Jessa’s Wedding Ring Guard
I love Peridots. They’re the birthstone of August babies, and to me they are so perfect for spring and summer with their beautiful fresh limey green color. Peridot is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one color. The intensity and tint of the green, however, depends on how much iron is contained in the crystal structure, so the color of individual peridot gems can vary from yellow- to olive- to brownish-green. Olivine, of which Peridot is a type, is often found in lava, but Peridot can be also found in meteorites. Olivine in general is a very abundant mineral, but gem quality peridot is rather rare. This mineral is precious as is Jessa’s ring. Thank you, Jessa, for letting Walker Goldsmiths make this for you. And do have a wonderful time living in Naples!
