Peridot Ring
BEAUTIFUL HAND-CUT, 2+ ct OVAL OLIVE GREEN PERIDOT SET IN 0.925 STERLING SILVER RING, SIZE 7
Peridot is a variety of Olivine, a gemstone frequently found embedded in pallasitic meteorites. Peridot is one of the few gemstones that occur in a one-color palette – green. The intensity and tint of the green, however, depend on the percentage of iron in the crystal structure, so the color of individual peridot gems can vary from yellow-green to olive green. Peridot and diamond are the only two gems observed to be formed not in Earth’s crust, but deep in the molten rock of the upper mantle. Gem-quality peridot is rare on Earth’s surface due to its susceptibility to alteration during its movement from deep within the mantle and weathering at the surface. Peridot is the August birthstone. Metaphysically, Peridot has been prized since the earliest civilizations for its claimed protective powers to drive away fears and nightmares. It is believed to carry the gift of “inner radiance”, sharpening the mind and opening it to new levels of awareness and growth, helping one to recognize and realize one’s destiny and spiritual purpose.

Moonstone Earrings
DELICATE MOONSTONES IN 0.925 STERLING EARRINGS with French ear wires
Moonstones are the most highly prized of the feldspar gems. The name moonstone derives from the stone’s characteristic visual effect, called adularescence, which produces a milky, bluish interior light. This effect is caused by light diffraction through alternating layers of orthoclase and albite within the stone. Flawless, clear, or translucent gems exhibiting a rich blue sheen are most valuable. Moonstones are typically cut as cabochons. Moonstones are sometimes cut to create chatoyancy, or a “cat’s eye” effect. Both the Romans and Greeks associated moonstone with their lunar deities. Moonstone is the state Gemstone of Florida. Metaphysically, Moonstone is believed to enhance intuition, promote emotional balance, and foster inner growth. It’s also associated with new beginnings, protection, and good fortune in love and business.
