I Hate Peridot!  

You guessed it, I'm an August Baby, and I got stuck with Apple Green, when I'd just as soon have, hmmm, Blue Zircon -- matches my baby blues...

Anyway, the point is, I won't buy Peridot unless it's killer Peridot.  I don't buy the stuff that has brown tinges to it, and I don't buy the stuff that looks all yellowy.  (I wonder if I can use yellowy in a scrabble game?  :-)

So, it'd better be an incredibly good solid green, or I don't carry it.  'Nuff said. 

These are well cut, and throw beautiful fire.  They are hung from 14k Gold Leverback Earrings, and are set in a form of bezel mounting, that gives you the most show of stone for the least expense in gold, and yet is still a good, well built mounting.
