16th Anniversary Necklaces
16th anniversary necklaces mark the Moon Wedding milestone with peridot, the traditional gemstone for this celebration. Peridot forms deep in the Earth's mantle and reaches the surface through volcanic activity. Its olive-green color comes from iron content within the olivine mineral structure. With a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, peridot holds up well in everyday jewelry. Our collection of 431 sterling silver necklaces pairs this ancient stone with .925 silver settings. Prices range from $479 to $38,569.

Peridot Necklaces for Your 16th Moon Wedding Anniversary
The 16th wedding anniversary carries the Moon Wedding designation, linking this year to peridot's lunar associations in ancient cultures. Egyptians called peridot the "gem of the sun" and mined it on Zabargad Island in the Red Sea as early as 1500 BCE. Today, major deposits exist in Arizona, Myanmar, Pakistan, and China. Each source produces slight color variations, from yellow-green to deep olive. Our peridot necklaces feature natural stones set in .925 sterling silver. The settings protect the gemstone while allowing light to pass through, which highlights peridot's characteristic glow. Silver complements the green tones without competing for attention. Every piece ships free within the US. SilverRush Style has supplied sterling silver jewelry with real natural stones since 2005.
