Arizona Peridot stud earrings set in solid platinum, 14k white gold, or 14k yellow gold with screw-back threaded posts. Minimalist jewelry for men and women. Made with ethically sourced gemstones and recycled, US-refined precious metals, hand set in our Oregon studio. We are a woman-owned US microbusiness creating quality fine jewelry that stands the test of time. Birthstone jewelry for August.
THE GEMS | Very special Peridot gemstones mined in Arizona and cut for maximum brilliance. Once I run out of these rare stones, I won't be able to get more. Arizona peridot has a more olive color than peridot from other locales.
THE SETTINGS | Solid precious metal secures your gems using traditional master goldsmithing techniques. We never use glues, cheap lightweight settings, or plated metals. Comfortable and wearable for active lifestyles and those who sleep in their earrings. Nickel free with the exception of 14k white gold.
LEAD TIME | These are made to order for you. Please check the estimated time for this specific item to ship, and contact us should you need something by a specific date. Platinum orders may experience an additional 1-2 week delay.
SIZES | Our photos show earring sizes with a US dime and/or model for scale. If you need advice, we're here to help. More sizes may be available by special order. Gem sizes can vary +/- .2mm.
ADDITIONAL INFO | Gems are individual pieces of nature's art with minor variations in pattern, color, size, and shape. Often, large gems are darker than small ones. I do promise you'll be happy with them, and accept exchanges as well as special requests like, "Prefer darker green over lighter," which I will do my best to match within my stock.
An in-house gemology lab and industry-leading gem treatment disclosure let you buy with confidence. Fair trade and labor practices in the gemstone industry are critical to me. Nobody should suffer to bring us a luxury product. I am very involved in the origins of my gemstones, traveling to Africa to visit mines and purchase rough stones, forming relationships with miners, individual gem dealers, and gem cutters. I work with individuals and small businesses all across the world to ensure your money goes to support people, not exploit them. All of our diamonds are conflict-free.
