The necklace is short and measures 14.5″ / 37 cm, additional links can be added – please contact us for more details. The gemstone drops measure 8.5mm in length.
The Peridot gemstones are a beautiful lime green and are all in very good condition.
Peridot is the traditional birthstone for August
Pearl is the traditional birthstone for June.
The name Lavalier (also spelt lavalier or lavallière) derived from the name of the Duchesse de La Vallière (1644-1710), one of the mistresses of Louis XIV .
