UNWORN,VERY GOOD CONDITION LIKE NEW.

ONLY CLASSIFIED AS USED BECAUSE I’VE HAD IT FOR YEARS.

Made from real olivine,this is true Peridot,not the cheaper chrysolite or peridot quartz.

The gemstone beads are translucent,semi opaque, giving a subtle sparkle and soft grassy green colour.

PLEASE NOTE AND SEE PHOTOS-

These high quality real natural Peridot beads are all a good grade for their Opaque type,apart from three or four each with a small black mark.This is not noticeable in wear,just on close inspection,and as most of these slightly imperfect beads are at the back it is not significant among so many beads.

These marks are caused by natural inclusions during the gem's life in the earth.It is normal for the Opaque grade of gem and is a sign of authenticity.No returns will be accepted for marks of this kind and actually this lovely necklace has remarkably few inclusion marks for the Opaque grade,it really is a fine item of jewellery with very good selected gems.

The beads measure over 8x5 mm,which is significantly bigger than other similar looking peridot beads being sold at present.The natural peridot beads are delicately precision faceted,in an abacus or rondelle(bagel)shape.

With attractive strong rhodium plated rotary princess clasp.

Expert handknotting between beads gives great strength against breaking and means the beads won't fall off,even if the thread is cut..

Ideal gift for October/November birthday,Libra and Scorpio.Listed for 1st/16th Anniversaries.

The colour is true Peridot mid Apple or grass green.Not the brighter green seen in cheaper alternatives.This is true Peridot mined from the earth.This necklace of real Peridot beads is made to last,using traditional hand knotting on strong jeweller's silk.

The beads are not just threaded on nylon or elastic or thin wire,which is used in more cheaply made necklaces which are advertised.

Having a knot between each bead and its neighbours prevents the beads slipping off in the remote possibility the necklace does ever break or is cut.

Using high quality strong jeweller's silk in a subtle leaf green colour,each knot in this necklace is beautifully shaped,identical to the eye.This really sets off the lovely natural subtle green faceted gems.The handknotting is part of the beauty of this necklace.
