Faceted hearts of golden green peridot are set in 14 karat yellow gold to create these beautiful stud earrings. The 5mm gemstones are a light grass green with good sparkle and shine. The settings, posts, and friction backs are all made from beautiful and durable 14 karat yellow gold. Reputedly a special favorite of Cleopatra's, peridot has been called "the evening emerald" because of the way its vibrant green shade shines bright, even by lamplight. Peridot is the birthstone for August, and a lively gemstone for any season.
