I bought this necklace... took a chance on the gold - it just seemed to work better with the gold than silver - and absolutely love it. I'm anxiously waiting for the matching earrings to come back on order and will definitely get those for the set.
Even though my birthday is August, I never had a peridot! This ring is truly lovely and can be worn casually or in more formal settings. I am so happy I purchased this as a gift to myself. I see it is available in many stones.........Get one for yourself!!
