This delicate pendant features a fossilized Red Horn Coral heart cabochon. The stone evokes the feeling of spring and first love. The little faceted Peridot has the soft green color of new leaves and new beginnings. To continue the spring theme, I cut a hummingbird drinking from heart shaped flowers behind the stone. The bezel around the stone is scalloped; the bail is hand cut and riveted. Bring a little springtime love into your life with this sweet little pendant, or give it as a gift to someone who needs hope for new beginnings in their life. And don't forget that Peridot is the birthstone for August!
Please note: I have noticed that there is a surface fracture line running from just above the middle to the upper left of the stone. This does not affect the stability of the stone, but I wanted to note it. It can be seen in some of the photos.
Lapidary work is by Juvy Andres of JC Cabochons.
SIZE: This pendant hangs about 1 3/8 inches from top of bail to bottom of heart. It is about 3/4 inches wide. This pendant is sold without a chain. I offer a variety of chains and cords which can be purchased separately.
PROPERTIES OF STONES (information compiled from numerous sources): Coral is said to quiet the emotions and to bring peace to within the self. It is supposed to facilitate intuition, imagination and visualization. Peridot is said to be a stone of lightness that can help someone who is going through depression. It is supposed to balance the process of emotional release and foster emotional balance, security and inner peace. Peridot is August's birthstone.
I happily accept layaway. Please look at my payment policies or send me a message for more information.
