Note to self: peridot is much greener than fluorite.

After I made the kyanite earrings, I decided that I should make peridot earrings for one of my sisters. The left one was made first, and then I attempted to duplicate the design in reverse for the right one which is why it's a little less organic looking.
















The difference between the left and right earrings started irritating me, so I went back to my work bench... where it suddenly dawned on me that I had used fluorite instead of peridot. I tried replicating this design with the peridot beads in my stash, but the design doesn't suit the beads. And since it's getting late, I'll have to try making peridot earrings another night. Hopefully with actual peridot.
