Bijou Peridot Stud Earrings in Sterling Silver

Natural Peridot Stud Earrings in sterling silver with faceted 7 x 5 mm gemstones. A beautiful August birthstone earring in fresh shades of lime, yellow-green and olive green.

Fresh. Green. Glorious.

Our Bijou Peridot Stud Earrings are for anyone who loves green gemstones, a little sparkle and jewellery that's beautifully easy to wear.

Each earring features a natural 7 x 5 mm oval Peridot, faceted to catch the light and claw-set in sterling silver. They're dainty enough for everyday wear, but that wonderful green gives them just enough colour to be noticed.

And when we say natural, we mean beautifully, genuinely individual.

Natural Peridot can range from bright lime and fresh yellow-green through to deeper olive green, and every gemstone has its own colour, inclusions and character. One pair may be brighter and zingier, another softer and more olive-toned.

That's part of the joy of natural gemstones. You get the pair that belongs to you.

Every Shade of Peridot Green

One of the things we love most about Peridot is that there isn't just one Peridot green.

Because these are natural gemstones, their colour varies. You might receive stones with a fresh, almost citrusy lime green, a sunny yellow-green or a deeper olive tone.

You may also see natural inclusions and variations within the gemstones. These aren't something we try to hide. They're part of the individual character of natural Peridot.

Your earrings therefore won't necessarily be an exact colour match to the pair you see photographed.

They'll be yours.

Peridot, the Gem of the Sun

Peridot has been treasured for thousands of years and has historically been associated with the sun and light, earning it a beautiful reputation as a Gem of the Sun.

Perhaps that's why its green has such a happy feeling about it.

Peridot is traditionally associated with warmth, renewal, abundance and positive energy, and some people wear it as a reminder to let go of what's no longer serving them and make room for something new.

As always, we think gemstone meaning is personal.

Maybe your Peridot represents a fresh beginning. Maybe you're an August baby. Maybe it reminds you of someone you love.

Or perhaps that gorgeous green simply makes you happy.

That's a perfectly good reason to wear it.

The August Birthstone

Peridot is the traditional birthstone for August, making these natural Peridot earrings a thoughtful birthday gift for someone born in August.

They're particularly lovely if you're looking for birthstone jewellery that doesn't feel like something that only comes out on birthdays.

These are little green gemstone studs you can wear whenever you feel like a splash of colour.

And if August happens to be your birth month, buying your own birthstone jewellery is absolutely allowed.
