Peridot's yellow-green sits in an unusual part of the color spectrum - too warm for true green, too grounded for lime, and entirely distinctive as a result. Against a freshwater pearl's creamy white, the color contrast is clean and spring-like without being seasonal. These earrings feature 7.5-8mm cultured freshwater pearls paired with peridot accents in rhodium over sterling silver settings, measuring 3/4" long by 1/4" wide. The drop pearl shape gives these earrings gentle movement and a natural quality that rounds and ovals cannot quite replicate. Peridot is August's birthstone, carrying the warm-season associations of that placement. Push back closure. The overall earring is one that works well with both gold and silver accessories - peridot's warm-cool ambiguity makes it unusually compatible. Rhodium plating keeps the sterling frame bright. A two-stone earring with real gemstone quality that earns its place in a fine jewelry wardrobe.
