Design Your Peridot Necklace
Start with a silhouette—sleek solitaire, east–west emerald-cut, station chain, or a charm cluster—then tailor the details. Select recycled 14K yellow/white gold or sterling silver. Choose your stone shape (round, oval, emerald-cut) and size (from petite 3mm links to statement focals). Pick your chain style and length; add engraving where available. Every necklace arrives gift-ready.

- 14–16" (Choker/Short): sits high on the collarbone; great for stacking with longer chains.
- 18" (Classic): everyday length that flatters most necklines.
- 20–22" (Layering): adds dimension under a 16–18" pendant.
- 24"+ (Long): easy, elongating lines; perfect for a larger east–west focal.
