By , About.com Guide

There are plenty of stunning dangle earrings to choose from in this collection. A wide variety of gemstones and styles are represented, from boldly colored dangles to decorative drops in pastel hues.

Most of the gemstones in this collection of earrings are treated to improve their appearance -- or synthetic versions created in a laboratory. That's okay, but read descriptions carefully to be sure you know what you are buying.

1. Peridot Dangle Earrings

Some of the peridot dangle earrings in this group are made from smooth beads, but others are designed with faceted peridot that sparkles as the light touches it. You'll find bold strands of peridot chips and delicate dangles with tiny peridot-adorned motifs at their ends. Some earrings in this group combine peridot with diamonds and other gemstones. Peridot fans shouldn't miss this assortment.
