August is right around the corner, and you know what that means: all the peridot lovers will be coming out of the woodwork, wondering what fine horse jewelry incorporates this gorgeous green stone.

People have always loved peridot. Not that they didn't love emeralds more: way back in the day, Cleopatra's haters used to gossip that some of her famous emeralds were really intensely green peridots - and the truth is, without a jeweler's loupe and more than a little know how, it's hard to tell the difference.

But you can take our word for it: the gorgeous green stone in this 14K gold horse heads ring is most definitely peridot. This makes it a great gift for the August birthday girl; when you choose it in yellow gold, the horses' eyes are diamond, in white gold, they're peridot.  And if you want to treat yourself to a truly beautiful horse ring, this is the one we'd suggest!

The peridot in the center is 2 full carats, cut emerald style. This is one of the best ways to present peridot, as the stone's rich color and brilliance is captured perfectly. Surrounding the rectangular stone, you'll see there are pave set diamonds; this look continues down the shank and surrounds the entire band.

On either side, there's an exquisitely detailed horsehead, with a finely rendered expressive face, detailed mane and the sort of craftsmanship that just screams "High quality fine jewelry!"

This ring also works very well as a one of a kind engagement ring. Colored diamonds are beginning to make a real inroad into the traditional engagement ring design field; other gemstones, such as peridot, make a beautiful, budget-friendly alternative.

This ring is proudly made in the USA by our master craftsmen, and is available in a full range of sizes, from 4.5 to 12. It's truly a breathtaking ring you'll love wearing each and every day.
