.75"H x .75" W Sterling Hoop, Brass Spiral and Peridot Includes Sterling Curb Chain 18" Peridot Peridot's name has traveled through centuries — known in antiquity as topazion, later called topaz, before the name peridot finally stuck in the 1700s. A gem variety of forsterite, it's prized for its rich green color. Ancient cultures linked it to the sun and medicinal powers; by the late 1800s it had earned its place in fine jewelry. This is the birthstone of August.
