Mark Davis

This clear bakelite cuff with peridot stones by Mark Davis is so chic and modern! I can see that new British super model, Agyness Deyn -- who's got a very NOW look -- wearing it with some mod little dress. Then again, I can see Lauren Bacall wearing it! Available at Brown's.

Peridot is the birth stone for August and 16th anniversary gemstone, and mainly in Burma and the USA.

Choice peridot is transparent and its color varies yellow green to brilliant light green. Peridot is the child of volcanic action, crystals are sometimes combed from the black sands of Hawaii. It is abundant and available in larger sizes.
