Delicate as a budding branch in spring, these lovely earrings are back by popular demand! A single grass-green Peridot briolette sparkles below delicate sterling silver wire wrapped "branches" sporting a cluster of tiny Prehnite, Green Pearl, and Peridot drops. This is a super-wearable size and length in the perfect color for Spring and Summer!
Our Meadow's Edge Branch earring hangs 1.75" long as shown on silver leverbacks, also available on studs or French wires.
Branch style necklaces and earrings are made with long, continuous strands of silver or gold wire that are intricately hand twisted to create an ornate, eye-catching design that is also fabulously light weight! It is extremely difficult to make the matching earrings, as each twist has to match its mate in size and proportion. Each gemstone and pearl is matched for color, size, and shape…these are truly wearable works of art!
Care tips: Be careful to not crush or squash the Branch design as it can break the wire or stones. However, you can gently bend and form the "branches" if they get out of shape.
Peridot is the modern birthstone for August. Peridot is the gemstone form of the mineral olivine. This lovely gemstone only comes in shades of green, from pale yellowish green to brilliant chartreuse to deep olive green. Peridot is rare and expensive in larger sizes, and can usually only be found in smaller stones. Although the modern birthstone for August, Peridot was also a favorite of the ancients and was extensively used in Egyptian and Roman jewelry.
In ancient times it was considered an aid to friendship and was also believed to free the mind of envious and negative thoughts. Peridot has long been prized for its healing powers. It promotes warmth, friendliness & happiness, while stimulating and strengthening organs and cells. Peridot attunes and supports the 4th or Heart Chakra.
