August's Birthstone: Peridot

August jewelry for sale in shop

Peridot is one of my favorite stones to wear and work with.  So much so that my first engagement ring was indeed peridot!  Ranging from a glassy lime color to an earthy olive green, the moody mystique of peridot is in its characteristic "glow," which is absolutely spellbinding.  Peridot is also August's traditional birthstone.

The peridot beauties shown above are available for purchase in shop.  Complimentary gift wrapping is always included.  On that note, have a wonderful week!

Peridot

Peridot is my favorite stone, so to be included in this peridot-themed Treasury was a lovely surprise, indeed.  There's just something about peridot that catches my eye.  Perhaps, it's the brightest color--green, that is--in my rusty color palette, excluding the creams and the neutrals.  Or maybe it's that the stone itself holds a dear, personal significance for me.  Nostalgia, right?  Enjoy.

New Item--Bracelets

I've recently started branching out from creating pendants.  I've created these pretty bracelets, and plan to make some pendant+necklace chains combinations, too.  To view new pendants, please click on the tab, "NEW Spring Items," at the top of my blog--or click HERE.

Complimentary Gift with Purchase, New Earring Designs, Etc.

Did I mention that with every item purchased from my shop, you will receive a free gift?  I also offer discounts for repeat customers.  An all around great deal for pendant and necklace lovers!  Neck adornment never looked so good.

In addition to pendants--and a few necklace chains--I began designing beautiful, dangly earrings with sterling silver and gold-filled french coil ear wires: 

Peridot and Moonstone Dangly Earrings

Peridot Oval Gold-filled Earrings

The sterling silver earrings include peridot and moonstone rondelles, very glowy and ethereal!  This pair is currently for sale in my Etsy shop.

The organic, oval peridot earrings are not yet listed for sale in my Etsy shop.  The french coil ear wires are gold-filled, radiating warmth from the earthy, deep olive green peridots.  If you are interested in this earring pair, please let me know, and I will set up a reserved listing for you.


If you see an item in my Etsy shop that you would like multiples of--or if you would like to custom design a pendant--please visit my Policies page and scroll down to the bottom of the page, or click HERE.  Listed are the stones that I currently have 5+ in stock.

Stay tuned!
