FACT: You will never hear a Peridot Girl complain about working day in and day out with cases full of designer jewelry. Thanks to our familiarity with the curated collection at Peridot, we've all taken a turn helping that father shop for his daughter's sweet sixteen or husband hunt for that one of a kind, memorable 10th anniversary present.  There's the ladies who need a pick me up or to commemorate a best friend's birthday, and we've sorted out them all in selecting that special gift.  But wouldn't you like to know what we're snapping up for ourselves?!

With this freezing cold weather and winter upon us, it’s incredibly easy to lose sight of your own personal style beneath the countless layers, jackets, gloves, and scarves piled on to keep you warm. If you’re finding that your jewelry is getting lost beneath the wooly folds of your scarf or the leather of your driving gloves—no need to fear! We have discovered the perfect solution—a dramatic pair of cold weather earrings to not only dazzle just beneath your cashmere hat, but also brighten up any dark, grey, dreary winter day. Even against the white snow, these beauties will shine and pop some color right back into your life.

I know everyone's been saying it, but it's kind of wild how fast the holidays have crept up this year. It feels like just yesterday that we were setting up our turquoise and blue "stories" and cases over here at Peridot, bracing ourselves for the summer heat, and picking out the perfect delicate pieces to go with our sundresses. But now we're bundled, and so happy to have some lovely sparkle to add to our snowy and cold days over here in the North-East! And believe me--we have TONS of sparkle this year.
