Summer is a 2 strand Peridot necklace with a pretty Sterling Silver and Brass hand crafted disc pendant. It's finished with a Silver filled toggle clasp. The short strand is 18 inches long and the long strand is 19.5 inches long. I used Delica Glass Spacer beads at the ends.

Peridot is the birthstone for August. It's considered a very powerful healing gemstone. According to energymuse.com,

As per crystalvaults.com., "Peridot is an extraordinary crystal for healing the emotional body and resolving matters of the heart.
