Peridot is my birthstone, though as a child I was much more enamored with emerald and ruby. Now the lime green color has grown on me, and when I found these lovely peridot chips I knew they had to be part of my collection. I hand-coiled steel wire into a spiral shape. Then I strung the chips onto decorative green wire and pulled the strand through the bracelet.

The bangle has a 2 1/2 inch diameter and an internal circumference of 7Â inches. It has a clasp so you can slip it on and off easily. It is fun to stack with other bangles too.
