Pear Peridot & Diamond Necklace

A 5 x 3 mm pear-cut natural peridot bezel-set below a single.03 carat natural diamond - two stones, stacked vertically, nothing else. It is the only teardrop silhouette in the collection and the smallest pendant in it, which is precisely the point: this is a piece that layers.

The bezel matters more on a pear than on any other cut. A pear's point is its most fragile feature, and here it is wrapped entirely in metal rather than pinched under a prong.

At 8.57 x 6.48 mm it sits comfortably above or below a longer chain, and it is the most accessible diamond piece in the collection - a real diamond, set properly, at the opening of the range.

Peridot is the August birthstone and the traditional sixteenth-anniversary stone, so it carries a reason as well as a colour.

Centre stone: 5 x 3 mm pear natural peridot. Setting: bezel-set pear beneath a bezel-set round diamond. Accent: natural diamond. Pendant 8.57 x 6.48 mm. 1 mm solid cable chain with a spring ring, adjustable to 16 or 18 inches, included. Approximate metal weight 2.56 g.

Natural peridot, untreated - peridot is one of the few gemstones that is essentially never enhanced. Peridot is 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale with distinct cleavage and is sensitive to thermal shock and acids. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush only - never an ultrasonic or steam cleaner. Store separately so harder stones cannot scratch it.

Gemstone and pendant measurements are nominal manufacturer specifications; natural stones vary slightly piece to piece. Product images are the manufacturer's per-metal renderings. Platinum and 14K White Gold share one rendering because the two finishes are visually identical; each piece is made in the metal you select.
