AJD Golden Citrine and Brilliant Green Peridot Dangle Earrings
SKU: ME2111
Peridot is one of the oldest gemstones and has a fascinating written history. Its mining has been traced back as far as the Egyptian civilization in 1500 B.C., according to ancient papyri. The Egyptians referred to it as the “the gem of the sun” and mined it mostly on Topazios (now Zabargad Island), out in the Egyptian Red Sea.
Peridot, in the past, has often been confused with emerald and topaz. But now many people even believe that the famous “emerald” jewelry donned by Cleopatra was, in fact, peridot.
