Peridot silver rings

Peridot "shepards hook"  by Cris Van Dyke

Peridot, the August birthstone is one of those semi-precious stones that's equally at home in silver and gold.  The ring pictured above is one of Chris' classic silver design's, and our second most viewed ring on Etsy.  In fact, we have the ring set with two different other stones and they don't have the views combined that this ring has.

There is something special about this green stone.  It only comes in green, varying from yellowish to brownish in shades.  One of our most resent custom rings was a very large peridot set in 14k gold and surrounded by diamonds.  How's that for versatility?

We like the gemstone so much that we are dedicating a Squidoo lens just for silver peridot rings:  http://www.squidoo.com/peridot-silver-ring
