Peridot Mahtava Pendant

A spectacular pear-shaped natural Peridot pendant handcrafted in sterling silver.

Some gemstones are simply too beautiful to ignore.

The Peridot Mahtava Pendant showcases a magnificent 13 x 18 mm pear-shaped natural Peridot, expertly faceted to maximise its brilliance and handcrafted in sterling silver. Designed for women who love colourful natural gemstone jewellery, this elegant pendant captures the light beautifully, creating a vibrant display of fresh green sparkle with every movement.

Mahtava means "spectacular" in Finnish, a name chosen by Desiderate founder Janine Leghissa in honour of her Finnish heritage. It perfectly reflects this distinctive collection, where exceptional natural gemstones are paired with sculptural sterling silver settings to create timeless statement jewellery.

The Peridot sits beautifully at the neckline, making it the perfect piece to wear every day or for special occasions. Its elegant pear-shaped design, also known as a teardrop cut, has been admired for centuries for its graceful silhouette and ability to maximise the beauty and brilliance of natural gemstones.

Peridot has been treasured for thousands of years and is often known as the Gem of the Sun. Traditionally associated with joy, renewal, abundance and positive energy, it has long been believed to inspire confidence, vitality and emotional balance. As the August birthstone, it also makes a thoughtful gift for birthdays, anniversaries and life's special milestones.

Designed in Australia and ethically handcrafted, the Peridot Mahtava Pendant is a timeless piece that brings vibrant colour and effortless elegance to every jewellery collection.

Interesting Facts About Peridot

Peridot is one of the few gemstones that forms in only one colour, its distinctive olive to vibrant green. While most Peridot is created deep within the Earth's mantle and brought to the surface by volcanic activity, tiny crystals of Peridot have also been discovered in meteorites that have travelled through space. This remarkable history has earned Peridot the nickname the Gem of the Sun, making it one of the world's most fascinating natural gemstones.
