The centre of this charm isn't a single stone, but a band of twelve individual peridot gems set edge-to-edge. They form a continuous ring of muted, earthy green that catches light in a dozen different ways as you move.
This necklace has a single, compact barrel charm that slides freely on its chain. Two polished gold rings frame a central channel of twelve baguette-cut peridot stones. The stones are set side-by-side, creating a textured, faceted surface between the smooth rims. The chain itself is a fine cable link that passes directly through the charm's centre, so it always sits straight.
The core of this piece is solid 925 sterling silver, which gives it a nice, reassuring weight. We then plate it with a thick layer of 14K gold for its warm, yellow colour. On top of that, we add a clear E-coating, which is an electro-coating that acts as a protective barrier. This extra step helps protect the gold from tarnishing and makes the necklace more resistant to scratches and daily wear. It's a durable finish for a piece you'll likely reach for often.
- Base Material: 925 sterling silver
- Plating: 14K gold with E-coating
- Stone: 12 Peridot (November birthstone)
- Chain: 16-inch cable chain with a 2-inch extender
- Sold as: Single necklace
People often choose this necklace because the charm doesn't dangle. It's threaded directly onto the chain, so it sits flush against the skin and never flips over. It's a clean, contained design that's really easy to wear and layer with other simple chains without tangling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the peridot in my Gemsign necklace look more brownish-green than bright green?
The colour of peridot can vary depending on its iron content. We specifically select stones with these earthy, olive, and brownish undertones for this design. We find this muted colour palette feels more modern and versatile than the traditional bright lime green you often see in peridot jewellery.
Can I shower or swim while wearing my gold-plated Gemsign Peridot Necklace?
We don't recommend it. While the E-coating adds a layer of protection, consistent exposure to water, soaps, and especially chlorine will wear down the 14K gold plating over time. To keep the finish looking its best for years, it's safest to take it off before you shower or swim.
How will the 16+2 inch chain on the Gemsign Peridot Necklace sit on my neck?
The 16-inch length will typically sit right around the collarbone for most people. The extra 2-inch extender gives you the flexibility to wear it a bit longer, up to 18 inches, which usually falls just below the collarbone. This makes it easy to adjust for different shirt necklines.
