Hi Amy,

    Seeing as you will already have the stone out of the ring you might
    as well get it replaced, all it should cost you over the base cost of
    the job already under way is the cost of the new stone. I'd go with
    either the Tourmaline (Verdite or chrome are the green varieties) or
    green garnet (either Tsavorite (chrome green) or Uvarite (emerald
    green)) as they have similar hardness and both are considerably
    harder than peridot. 

    BTW Congrats on your engagement. 

Thomas.
