I love peridot so this is a plus for me. The beads are small and dainty and aren't overlarge so the necklace is very pretty. I am on the fence because I don't usually wear larger necklaces but this is so pretty, I hate to give it up. Its the exact color of real peridot and the beads are small enough that one could get away with it being real-looking even though the necklace is larger.
