Piece of the Week: These Alex Soldier Earrings
The champagne quartz and peridot pair are perfect for August babies looking for earrings that can easily be worn into the fall.
New York—It’s only mid-August, so we’re not done with peridot just yet.
What we are done with, however, is the oppressive, unrelenting heat and humidity in New York City this summer.
The weather has us (or at least some of us) dreaming of the cooler temperatures and warmer color palette of the fall; light sweater weather, if you will.
That’s why these Alex Soldier earrings are a perfect pick for piece of the week.
The 18-karat yellow gold pair combine a dozen peridot (7.6 total carats) with little pops of purple and white courtesy of sapphire and diamond, all anchored by four champagne quartz weighing nearly 80 carats.
The earrings are available for $5,280 here on the Alex Soldier website.
