Materials: Genuine, solid faceted peridot and Argentium Sterling Silver.

Argentium Sterling silver is a modern sterling silver alloy. It is a true Sterling silver and contains 92.5% silver just as all other Sterling Silvers do, however it has many advantages over normal Sterling Silver. Traditional Sterling is made with a 7.5% copper alloy to give it enough hardness to create jewelry with. Argentium Sterling Silver instead has an alloy of Germanium. This means that Argentium Sterling Silver is extremely tarnish resistant, is somewhat harder to scratch, and does not cause allergies in for most people that are sensitive to Sterling Silver. Nearly everyone that suffers from allergy problems with traditional Sterling Silver find that they do not experience problems with Argentium Sterling Silver. Further, because Argentium Sterling Silver does not produce firescale, it does not require chemical treatments like traditional sterling silver does and therefore is far more environmentally friendly.

Stone quality/specs: Peridot is gemstone quality ovaline. This stone is very golden-green, with emphasis on the gold tones. There is one tiny pit in the stone (see above photo) which is only visible upon very close inspection. Stone is eye-clean.

Description: A great peridot, if not very pale in the green spectrum. That combined with the pin-sized pit make this much more affordible than it might have been if it were a bit darker. Still, a lovely and large stone for the peridot lover! Very glittery. See the video!
