Beautiful faceted Peridot stones are hand-wrapped in Sterling Silver wire around a hammered SS circle. Pendant measures 3/4". Hangs on a 18" Sterling Silver chain (please let me know if you would like 16" instead). Peridot is a volcanic gem, but has also been found in meteorite deposits. Peridot has been mined as a gemstone for an estimated 4000 years. Historical legend has it that peridot was the favorite gemstone of Cleopatra. Ailments: It is used in healing to revitalize the heart, spleen, and adrenal glands, toning the body and mind, reducing stress and tension. Each pendant is hand-made and may differ slightly from the photograph. Contact me for custom order info - this pendant can be made in a number of different stones or in silver instead of gold. This would be a great birthstone necklace - you could even have each child's birthstone within the circle!
