Description From circa 1920 an unusual 9 carat gold Peridot and Seed Pearl Pendant, complete with a 16″ Gold Chain. Measuring around 50mm x 40mm this imposing and versatile Vintage piece can also be worn as a Brooch. * Peridot is the Birthstone for August, but its popularity stretches throughout the year, particularly sought after in the Spring, possibly due to its beautiful lime green hue. It is one of the few gemstones which exist in only one colour, and legend claims it will drive away evil and bring you gladness, serenity and fidelity. ? * A Seed Pearl is generally defined as a small natural pearl, usually measuring less than 2mm in diameter. Nowadays, seed pearls are often only created accidentally by pearl farmers who are attempting to grow larger cultivated pearls. However, one benefit of purchasing antique jewellery is that the Pearls within these pieces will almost certainly be natural seed pearls.
