Raw Peridot Necklace
Necklace Length Guide
Choosing the right necklace length can make all the difference to how your jewellery sits and feels. Our visual guide shows the four most popular lengths on an average neckline so you can easily see where each one falls:
-
14" – Choker Length
Sits closely around the base of the neck. Perfect for a snug, elegant fit or for layering with longer pieces. -
16" – Classic Short Necklace
Falls just below the collarbone on most people. A timeless everyday length and ideal for small pendants. -
18" – Standard Pendant Length
Rests on the upper chest. This is our most popular and versatile length for gifting, flattering most necklines. -
20" – Longer, Relaxed Length
Sits a little lower on the chest for an effortlessly elegant look. Great for creating a layered style or adding extra movement.
Tip: Everyone’s proportions are a little different. If you're choosing a gift, 18" is the safest all-round option—beautiful on its own and easy to layer with other pieces.

Real raw peridot, handmade in the UK.
Each pendant on this necklace is a natural, hand-picked raw peridot — no two the same. We work with the stone as it comes: its original shape, its own depth of green, the natural fire that catches the light on a moving neckline. Small inclusions and tiny black speckles inside the crystal are part of a raw peridot's character, not a flaw — that's how you know you're wearing a real, uncut August birthstone rather than a polished lookalike.
A meaningful gift for an August birthday
Peridot is the traditional August birthstone — the "gem of the sun" long carried for warmth, confidence and calm. A raw peridot necklace makes a considered gift for someone born in August, and it's just as loved as a heart-chakra piece for anyone drawn to peridot's meaning: love, happiness, joy, and the kind of quiet everyday confidence that lifts your mood without shouting about it. Sits beautifully on its own or layered with a longer chain.
Chain and finish
Every pendant is a real, natural peridot — handmade in our Chester studio. The standard chain is 316L surgical-grade stainless steel with a durable PVD coating, available in silver or 18K gold tone. Tarnish-resistant, hypoallergenic, and gentle on sensitive skin.
Because peridot is a raw uncut stone, expect small inclusions, tiny speckles, and gentle variations in green tone from piece to piece. These are the marks of a genuine crystal, not defects.
Stone size
Raw peridot comes in natural shapes, so each stone is truly one-of-a-kind — no two pendants are ever identical. Because raw stones are priced by carat weight rather than millimetre, we group ours into two size clusters:
- XSmall: a subtle everyday pendant — see the guidance photo in the gallery, which shows our XSmall stones next to a UK £1 coin for scale.
- Small: a slightly more present pendant with a little more visual weight — same guidance photo shows the Small size group beside a £1 coin.
Peridot at a glance
- Confidence Booster: peridot is the classic stone of quiet, everyday confidence — a small anchor worn against the heart.
- Heart Chakra Stone: aligned with the heart chakra, said to open the wearer to giving and receiving love with ease.
- August Birthstone: the traditional gemstone for anyone born in August, and a considered birthday gift with real meaning.
- Love, Happiness and Joy: long associated with lifting mood, welcoming happiness, and holding onto the good moments.
- Prosperity and Reduces Stress: carried for centuries as a stone of prosperity and abundance, and worn to soften stress and heavy feeling.
Care
Peridot is a durable natural stone but the chain deserves a little care. Avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume and lotions to preserve the finish. Take it off before showering, swimming, or sleeping. Store in your Abiza gift box when not worn.
Packaging
Handmade and quality-checked in our Chester studio, then presented in our signature Abiza gift box with a crystal information card explaining peridot's meaning and properties — heart-chakra stone, August birthstone, confidence booster. Ready to give, no extra wrapping needed.
