Understanding This Piece
About Peridot
Peridot is yellow-green olivine, prized for its singular lime-green hue. The finest peridots come from Pakistan, Myanmar, and Arizona — and some peridot has even been found in meteorites. Peridot scores 6.5–7 on Mohs (suitable for daily wear with some care) and is the August birthstone and 16th-anniversary gem. It was a favorite of Cleopatra and was historically confused with emerald in ancient royal collections.
About 14K Yellow Gold
14K yellow gold is 58.3% pure gold blended with copper and silver — the most popular fine-jewelry karat in the US for good reason. It delivers a rich, recognizably warm yellow tone while remaining hard enough for daily wear, holding diamonds and gemstones securely without wearing thin. 14K resizes cleanly and refinishes easily, and it carries strong heirloom value. For most clients balancing color depth, durability, and price, 14K yellow is the right answer.
About Fashion Stud Earrings
Fashion studs go beyond the single-stone classic — incorporating clusters, halos, geometric shapes, animal motifs, sculptural metalwork, or mixed-stone combinations. They sit close to the earlobe like classic studs but bring more visual distinction and design language. Fashion studs are particularly popular for clients who want a daily-wear earring with more presence than a plain solitaire stud.
