Peridot with its olive green colour, ranging from yellow hues into the blues must be one of the most popular semi precious gemstones around. This trend seems to prevail not only in South Africa but around the globe as availability of good quality and size is scarce and prices are constantly on the rise.

So I am pleased as pie that we have sourced some outstanding quality, facetted peridot beads (drilled gemstones for earring and necklace designs)  from the Apache reservation in Arizona. They are close to flawless and offer the perfect olive green colour we all so look for in peridot. Several different shapes are available, including some unusual ones.I will soon turn them into some gorgeous jewellery designs. If you are interested in the beads as such or would want anything specific made, please contact us soon.
