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 for those who buy once and buy well. It will not tarnish, fade, or degrade; worn daily for decades, it only grows more beautiful. It is the right choice if you want a piece that lasts a lifetime or becomes an heirloom.
Gold has appreciated steadily for centuries and retains intrinsic value: it can always be melted down and reborn as something new. It is adornment that is also an investment.
Our solid gold pieces are cast using the ancient lost wax method and are never hollow. Every gram is 100% certified recycled, and every piece is made by hand in New York City.
