Peridot Evil Eye Necklace with White Sapphire

The evil eye is one of the oldest protective motifs in jewellery, and this is the version that earns a place on a fine-jewellery neck rather than a holiday stall. A 3.5 mm round natural peridot sits bezel-set as the iris, its yellow-green reading clean and warm against a surround of pave-set natural white sapphires.

The pendant lies horizontally along the chain rather than hanging from a bail, so it sits flat at the base of the throat and layers well under a longer piece. At 15.2 x 8.1 mm it is legible without being loud.

The bezel is the point: peridot has distinct cleavage and prefers a rim of solid gold around its girdle to a set of exposed prongs. This is the setting a gemologist would choose for a stone worn every day.

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

Centre stone: 3.5 mm round natural peridot. Setting: bezel-set centre with pave-set sapphire surround. Accent: natural white sapphire. Pendant 15.2 x 8.1 mm. 1 mm solid cable chain with a spring ring, in your chosen 16 or 18 inch length, included. Approximate metal weight 2.16 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. Each piece is made in the metal you select.
