An August birthstone, peridot can be found in outer space!
Found on Mars and in meteorites, these were mined in Arizona cowboy country. There have been peridot gems faceted from olivine in meteorites! Since it was mined in cowboy country and has been found on other planets, we're declaring peridot the "official" gemstone of the TV series Firefly. ;) Peridot is found on Mars and the moon, as well as in meteorites! Mined by Apache tribal members of the San Carlos Indian Reservation from deposits in the Arizona desert, these are home-grown gems with a native spirit. We have a limited supply of these American Gems.
Pick the perfect jewelry for your unique vibe!
These are wonderful nature earrings with a spring green the color of almost-yellow fresh shoots of foliage. Very cottagecore, boho, or even goblincore!
Solid Platinum, 14k gold, and silver post earrings:
Solid recycled precious metal secures your gems using traditional master goldsmithing techniques. We never use glues, cheap lightweight settings, or plated metals. Comfortable and wearable for active lifestyles and those who sleep in their earrings. Nickel free with the exception of 14k white gold. Why waste money and environmental resources on "fast fashion" jewelry when you can invest in the clean luxury of pieces that can endure for decades?
How to choose a stud earring size:
3mm is a tiny stud earring perfect for cartilage and multiple piercings. 4mm is a dainty stud earring that also works well for cartilage piercings. 5mm is a good minimalist everyday stud earring size. 6mm is large, but still casual. 8mm are statement stud earrings with a bold look.

What to know about gemstone jewelry:
Gems (yes, even lab created gems!) are individual pieces of nature's art with minor variations in pattern, color, size, and shape. Gem sizes can vary +/- .2mm. Often, large gems are darker than small ones. I do promise you'll be happy with them, and accept exchanges as well as special requests like "Prefer darker green over lighter" which I will do my best to match within my stock. Some gems are fragile and should not go in an ultrasonic or steam cleaner.
