Peridot is a beautiful gemstone prized for its summery color--usually a light green with just a hint of gold. These elegant stud earrings capture that beauty with faceted trillions of vivid peridot, prong set in 10 karat yellow gold. The earrings are featured on posts and fasten with friction back closures. August's birthstone is an ancient gemstone that can be found in Egyptian jewelry dating back to the 2nd millennium BC. The Romans dubbed this stone the "evening emerald" because of the way it maintains its radiance even in artificial light. These sparkling studs will add fresh color to your wardrobe, no matter what the season.
