I had a few pieces of Sarda peridot. When I saw this particular ring; I knew it was the perfect match for my peridot solitaire drop earrings. I purchased 2 peridot bangles along with the ring because of the perfect coloring of the gem. I now have a completed suite of this gem design. Janyl's work with peridot enhances the metal design of the items that I have purchased. I am overjoyed with this ring. I love it. Weighted perfectly and it does not slip and slide. The gem remains at the top exactly where it belongs.
