Peridot is one of the most visually striking gemstones, with its mix of bright summery greens and gorgeous, glowing golden tones. It has long been associated with luck and historically, there was a belief that Peridot could ward off evil spirits. Furthermore, if the stone was set in gold its capacity to bring the bearer good luck was intensified. Peridot is the birthstone for August and 16th anniversaries.

Seed Pearls are small natural pearls, usually less than 2mm in diameter. The use of seed pearls in fine jewellery throughout the latter part of the 19th & early part of the 20th centuries was immensely popular.

Elaborately decorated brooches, pendants, pins and earrings were very representative of fashion at the time. Pearls have an association with purity, chastity and delicacy. Pearl is the birthstone for June and 30th anniversaries. This item is in the category "Jewellery & Watches\Vintage & Antique Jewellery\Brooches & Pins".
