Description
14k yellow gold peridot leverback drop earrings. These earrings feature 2.45tcw of peridot set into 14k yellow gold in a leverback earring design.
The ancient Egyptians mined peridot on the Red Sea island of Zabargad, the source for many large fine peridots in the world’s museums. The Egyptians called it the “gem of the sun.” Today this gem is still prized for its restful yellowish-green hues and long history. Large strongly colored, examples can be spectacular, and attractive smaller gems are available for jewelry at all price points.
Birthstones and Anniversaries: Peridot is one of the birthstones for August, and it is also the gemstone of the 16th wedding anniversary.
