These gorgeous handmade gold plated earrings with vibrant green semi-precious peridot drops would make a lovely gift for someone special.

The sterling silver hooks have been plated with gold and the earrings measure 2cm from the hook.

The vivid green of the peridot stones, with just a slight hint of gold, is the ideal gemstone colour to go with that light summer wardrobe. No wonder – since the peridot is the gemstone of the summer month of August.

 Peridot is a very old gemstone, and one which has become very popular again today. It is so ancient that it can be found in Egyptian jewellery from the early 2nd millennium B.C.

Peridot is a stone with a strong energizing effect, it stimulates the entire body and fills you with energy.
