I've always been drawn to green crystals — there's a quiet, grounded quality to them that feels different from other stones. Forest Shimmer pairs Peridot and Diopside, two greens that sit at opposite ends of the spectrum: Peridot is bright and fresh like new leaves catching sunlight, while Diopside is richer and deeper, closer to the forest floor. Together they layer really well. A silver butterfly centrepiece and S925 silver spacers run through to break up the green and give the whole piece a lightness to it.

Peridot is associated with positivity and renewal — it's one of those stones that's said to help clear out old, stagnant energy and make room for something better. It's a good fit for anyone going through a change or wanting to feel a bit more optimistic day to day. Diopside is less well-known but brings a grounding, nurturing quality to the mix — it's connected to creativity and emotional healing, and balances out the brighter energy of the Peridot nicely. Together they make a combination that feels both uplifting and settled.
