Peridot Earrings

Peridot Gemstone Earrings

Now that you can spot the differences between emerald and peridot, choosing the gem, you're looking to purchase won't be challenging. However, some people weren't as lucky to know what sets peridot gemstones apart from emeralds. Some historians believe that the prized collection of "emeralds" that belonged to the Egyptian queen Cleopatra was, in fact, peridot stones. No one knew that peridot gemstones existed, so people easily mistook them for emerald. Cleopatra wasn't the only one with this peridot confusion—for centuries people thought the dazzling 200ct. display of gemstones adorning the Three Holy King's shrine in Germany were emeralds.

Channel your inner Cleopatra and turns heads with the simple sophistication of peridot earrings. The classic look of cultured pearl and peridot set in sterling silver is perfect for any outfit. Heading to a cocktail party soon? Step into the spotlight with a pair of sterling silver drop earrings with round and pear-shaped peridots zig-zagging down your earlobes.
