This raw peridot pendant necklace carries a small piece of the earth on a 16" or 18" antique copper cable chain. Each pendant is electroformed directly around a raw peridot crystal, 0.5 to 0.75 inches, letting the stone's natural shape determine the form. No two are alike. The antique copper finish gives the setting a dark, warm patina that makes the vivid olive-green of the peridot pop. It's the kind of necklace that layers easily, wears every day, and feels like it was always yours.
Peridot is associated with warmth, openness, and the heart and solar plexus chakras. August birthstone. Wear it when you need to feel grounded and a little lighter at the same time.
Why Peridot
Peridot is one of the few gemstones that forms in only one color: olive to vivid green, caused by iron content within the crystal structure. It's found in volcanic rock, meteorites, and deep in the earth's mantle. These are raw crystals, unpolished and uncut, selected for color and character. No mystical claims. Just a beautiful stone with a meaning that fits real life.

How This Raw Peridot Necklace Is Made
Each raw peridot crystal is hand-selected before being set into a wax form and electroformed in copper over several days. The copper grows organically around the stone, creating a setting that is completely unique to each piece. No molds, no casting, no mass production. What you receive is one of a kind.
A Note on Stone Variation
These are raw crystals straight from the earth. Each pendant varies in shape, size (within the 0.5 to 0.75 inch range), and the exact shade of green. Your necklace will be similar to those shown but not identical. That's what makes it yours.
Care
Peridot is relatively durable but avoid hard impacts on raw crystal edges. Remove before swimming, bathing, or applying lotions and perfumes. Store dry. The antique copper patina will brighten naturally with wear, developing a beautiful aged finish over time.

Product Details
Materials & Metals
Each necklace is handcrafted from raw copper, and may include elements of brass, bronze, silver, or stainless steel, paired with carefully chosen stones, crystals, or natural elements.
Every piece is shaped by hand through the slow process of electroforming — a melding of earth, metal, and time that creates unique textures and forms.
All metals are nickel-free and sealed for comfortable, daily wear. Slight variations in color, texture, or patina are natural signs of the handmade process — each one-of-a-kind, just like its wearer.
Chain Options
Necklaces are available in a variety of lengths to fit every ritual and style:
- 16–18 inches – sits high at the collarbone
- 20–22 inches – a classic mid-chest length
- 24–30 inches – longer talisman style for layering
Chain styles may include cable, rolo, or oxidized link, chosen to complement each pendant’s design.
Leather Option
Select designs feature a soft, durable leather cord, fully adjustable from 12 to 24 inches.
Leather cords offer a grounded, natural feel and can be worn short as a choker or long for layering — making them versatile for both men’s and women’s styles.
Care & Maintenance
All metals and leather will naturally age with time and wear — it’s part of their alchemy.
To maintain brightness, polish gently with a soft cloth. To preserve patina or aged finish, simply wipe clean and store in a dry place. Avoid prolonged contact with water, lotion, or perfume.
Remove before showering or swimming. Use a soft cloth; avoid abrasive polishing on patinated copper.
Copper Protection
Embrace the Patina
Some collectors love the rich, aged look that copper develops over time. This natural patina tells a story—of adventures taken, energies absorbed, and the passage of time. If you resonate with that earthy, vintage look, feel free to let your copper evolve organically.
Why add lacquer?
- Slows the natural darkening (patina) of copper
- Minimizes the chance of skin reactions
- Keeps copper looking brighter for longer
- Protects while preserving the earthy character of your jewelry
Details:
- Optional upgrade available for $5

- Clear finish — no change to the look or feel of your piece
