Description
The Peridot asymmetric earring design means they are not a match. An asymmetrical design will balance when the centre of gravity is considered.
No two pieces must be the same but equal in the space it occupies with consideration to placement.
In the Peridot Asymmetric earring design, both the pure gold and the pure silver give the earrings a fresh look. Peridot is the colour of young fresh spring leaves, which symbolizes growth and development. The bright green gemstone can inspire creativity; it also brings joy and good cheer. Also, the Egyptians called it the ‘gem of the sun’ and ‘the gem of light.’
The use of Peridot in jewellery and other uses dates as far back as the ancient Egyptians from around 1500 B.C. People in medieval times confused Peridot for Emerald. Romans referred to Peridot as “evening emerald” because Peridot gemstones did not darken at night and still shimmered under candlelight.
Peridot is a softer stone; therefore, it is best suited for earrings and necklaces. The bezel setting protects the gemstone to a certain degree if worn in a ring. A bezel setting is where the metal surrounds the gemstone. The outer edge of the gem is entirely covered for security and protection.
The handmade butterflies have a style of their own and are practical. Neoprene grips the earring posts giving added security. It is resistant to oils, heat, water, and solvents. Because of the size of the Neoprene butterflies, they hold the earrings in an upright position preventing them from falling forward. Neoprene butterflies are the perfect solution.
The birthstone for Peridot is the month of August.
