Elemental design meets the earthly energy of the peridot in this timeless piece. A vibrant green peridot is embraced by a sinuous gold setting, reminiscent of molten metal shaped by the earth’s forces. The stone’s fresh, verdant hue has been treasured for centuries, symbolizing renewal, prosperity, and protection.
Peridot’s history is as ancient as the earth itself, with the gemstone being one of the few that forms in the earth’s mantle and is brought to the surface by volcanic activity. Ancient Egyptians called peridot the ‘gem of the sun,’ believing it held the power to protect wearers from evil spirits and the darkness of the night. Cleopatra was said to have adorned herself with peridot, mistaking it for her beloved emerald, making it one of the most sought-after gemstones of her time.
Throughout the Middle Ages, peridot was cherished as a stone of healing and vitality. Crusaders brought it to Europe from the Middle East, where it was thought to dispel fear and ward off nightmares. Its vibrant green hue was also associated with wealth and abundance, leading royalty to wear it as a symbol of prosperity.
The organic, fluid form of the gold setting mirrors the natural rhythms of the earth, creating a piece that feels both eternal and contemporary. Every curve and detail of the pendant reflects an understated elegance that transcends time.
Why Solid Gold ✨
Solid gold is the best option if you:
1. Want to wear your piece forever or pass it down as an heirloom. Solid gold will last for centuries without degrading.
2. Want to invest in jewelry as an asset rather than an accessory. Gold traditionally appreciates in value and can always be melted down and made into a new piece
Unlike many brands, our gold is never hollow - it is always 100% solid, cast using the lost wax method, meaning there is a lot more gold in each piece.
Our gold is 100% certified recycled and each piece is handcrafted here in New York.
