HOT ! Bezel-set Peridot Necklace

Bezel-Set Peridot Necklace

Peridot is one of the few gemstones that exists in only one color, a distinctive olive-lime green that is both earthy and bright. Ancient Egyptians called it the gem of the sun and mined it by torchlight on a volcanic island in the Red Sea. Worn at the collarbone today, this 3mm natural peridot brings the same warm, glowing quality to everyday life, a flash of something fresh and decidedly itself.

August\'s birthstone, peridot has long been associated with strength, good fortune, and a certain vibrancy of spirit. It is an especially fitting stone for late summer birthdays or for anyone who gravitates toward the unconventional in their jewelry choices. Made to order in your choice of 14K gold or sterling silver.

The Bezel Setting, Explained

Unlike most gemstones, which come in a range of hues, peridot is always green, but the exact shade varies from pale yellow-green to a deeper, more saturated olive depending on the iron content of the specific stone. The 3mm stone used here is selected for its vivid, characteristic peridot green, the particular tone that has made this stone instantly recognizable for thousands of years.

The bezel setting wraps a continuous rim of precious metal around the stone, holding it securely while exposing the full face of the gem. It is the most protective setting style available for an everyday necklace, and the clean metal border gives the pendant a considered, architectural quality. At 16 inches, it sits at the collarbone where the stone\'s unusual color reads most clearly against skin.
