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. And now, we present to you our Peridot Holiday Gift Guide 2013--with a couple of local and miscellaneous gift ideas for perfectly well-rounded gift-giving, at ANY price point.   Moritz Glik Diamond "Shaker" Necklace. Those are all loose tiny diamonds encased in white sapphire on a gold and oxidized sterling silver chain with diamond detail. This necklace is BEYOND fabulous--elegant, dressy, and guarantee to make anyone who wears it feel like a queen.

Although we love chunky, bold, fashion statement pieces, sometimes we just want to wear some tiny, dainty pieces that we can layer or wear like they're barely there. Designers have been catching on to our love for teeny, chic, personal and delicate jewelry. These little guys are perfect with absolutely any outfit. They're also great for trying out looks that you wouldn't normally try--asymmetry, geometric forms, and little shapes--because they're so delicate, it's never too bold a statement and just gives a little hint of sparkle and chic. We are loving this trend. Peridot has tons of teeny jewelry that will go with any of your looks--bonus: these are GREAT as gifts because who doesn't love delicate?   [caption id="attachment_120" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Adina Reyter Yellow Gold Tiny Solid Pave Diamond Bar Necklace[/caption] [caption id="attachment_132" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Adina Reyter and SHY by Sydney Evan Layered Necklaces[/caption]   [caption id="attachment_121" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Adina Reyter Tiny Geometric Pave Diamond Studs[/caption] [caption id="attachment_124" align="aligncenter" width="940"] Adorable Maya Brenner Jewelry Asymmetrical Initial 14K Gold Necklace.
