Natural peridot, cut into small beads and hand-strung with 14k gold filled findings. That lime green is the whole point — bright, clear, a little bit unexpected, the color of sunlight coming through a leaf. Green against warm gold is one of those pairings that never needed a trend to justify it.
Every bead is real stone, so no two strands read exactly alike. Some beads pull toward yellow-green, some toward deep olive, and that variation is what makes natural peridot look alive on the neck instead of flat and manufactured.
Created to be timeless and trendless. It sits at collarbone length, which makes it easy with open necklines and easy to layer with longer gold chains. Wear it alone when you want the green to do the talking, or build it into a stack when you want more.
The necklace measures 16 inches with a 1-inch extender. Need a different length? Just leave a note at checkout with what you're after and we'll be happy to build the length that's perfect for you.
Peridot is August's birthstone, which makes this a meaningful gift — though the color is good enough that you don't need a birthday as an excuse. Pairs with the matching Peridot Beaded Bracelet.

14k Gold Filled
Gold filled is not plating. A thick layer of solid 14k gold is bonded to a jeweler's brass core under heat and pressure, so the piece carries about 100 times more gold than a thin flash plate. That is why it holds its color through daily wear instead of rubbing thin at the edges.
925 Sterling Silver
Solid sterling, bright and cool against the skin. I also offer an oxidized finish, a soft blackened patina that deepens the look of a stack and sits beautifully next to your gold pieces.
Signature Crystals
This is the part I also make by hand. Semi-precious gemstones, real dried botanicals, and Swarovski crystals, arranged one at a time and sealed under UV stable resin that stays glass-clear rather than yellowing. Because the elements are natural, no two are ever exactly alike.
Made in My Florida Studio
I make every piece to order in my studio here in Florida. Small differences in flower placement, stone color, or the depth of a crystal are part of the design, not a flaw.
Made for Sensitive Ears and Skin
My fashion studs use surgical steel posts and backs, chosen for ears that react to almost everything else.
Artisan Frames (Pendants and Earrings)
The statement frames are lead free and nickel free brass, finished with a heavy gold plate for a rich, high-shine luster.

Gold filled, vermeil, plated: what's the difference?
It all comes down to how much real gold you're wearing.
Gold plated
A thin film of gold over brass or copper. It can wear through with everyday wear.
Gold vermeil
Gold over sterling silver, at least 2.5 microns thick. Better than plating, still a coating.
14k gold filledWhat you get
A thick layer of solid 14k gold bonded to a brass core. About 100 times more gold than plating, so it holds its color through daily wear.
Gold layers enlarged so you can see the difference.
