{"product_id":"pear-peridot-pendant","title":"Pear Peridot Pendant | 9ct Yellow Gold","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA pear-cut peridot claw-set in 9ct yellow gold on a plain bail, point down like a drop. Natural peridot, the August birthstone, kept clean so the green does the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe setting is simple by design. A little V-shaped claw caps the point at the top and two rounded claws hold the base, so the stone is well held while most of it stays open to the light. The pear shape gives it a natural drop, and the warm yellow gold lifts that fresh green. Easy to wear on its own or layered with a shorter chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe stones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeridot:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural, pear cut, 9 x 7mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9ct yellow gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three-claw with a V-cap at the point, plain bail\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sold separately\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout peridot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeridot is the gem form of a mineral called olivine, and it's one of the very few stones that comes in only one colour. Most gems get their colour from a stray trace of something else in the crystal, but peridot's green is built into the stone itself, set by the iron in its make-up, which is why it holds that steady olive-to-lime green rather than drifting from one stone to the next. It forms deep in the earth's mantle and is carried up by volcanoes, and a little has even turned up inside meteorites. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness: \u003c\/strong\u003e6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBirthstone: \u003c\/strong\u003eAugust\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCome and see it in the cabinet at Craigieburn.
