Peridot 1pkg1, hand-cut top-drilled faceted puffed teardrop bead natural, 8 inch 4mm

Brilliant and refreshingly vibrant, these natural peridot puffed teardrop beads showcase the gemstone’s signature lime-to-olive green glow. Known as the “gem of the sun,” peridot is prized for its bright, lively color, natural clarity and fresh transparency that instantly energizes any design.

Each bead is hand-cut, hand-polished and top-drilled into a smooth faceted puffed teardrop shape, enhancing the stone’s natural brilliance and crisp sparkle. The 8-inch strand (approximately 75 beads) features beautifully matched stones and is temporarily strung with tassels. Their small drill holes make them ideal for fine-gauge wire, elegant earrings and refined stringing designs.

Peridot is a gem-quality variety of the mineral olivine, formed deep within the earth’s mantle and brought to the surface by volcanic activity. It is one of the few gemstones that occurs in only one primary color—green—ranging from soft golden-green to vivid chartreuse depending on iron content. Appreciated for centuries, peridot has long been associated with light, renewal and positive energy. It is the August birthstone, making these beads especially meaningful for personal designs or thoughtful gifts.
