Fine Estate Arts and Crafts Style Peridot Sterling Silver Cross

About the Item

Beautiful Arts and Crafts style sterling silver and peridot cross featuring six rhombus shaped square cut 5mm by 5mm peridot gemstones. Peridots have a rich history dating back to ancient Egypt. They were associated with having protective qualities and the acient Egyptians called peridot the "gem of the sun". The lively attractive green color was often confused with emeralds- for centuries, the impressive 200 carat gems of the shrine of the Three Holy Kings in the Cologne Cathedral were believed to be emeralds, but are in fact peridots. Historians have also suggested that Cleopatra's famed emerald collection may actually have been peridot. Peridot is the birthstone for August and is symbolic of love, happiness and wealth. Provenance: Private Maine collection Height: 2 inches Width: 1.25 inches Weight: 5.2 grams Peridots: lively, vibrant olive green Condition: Very Good Tested for sterling silver
