A Groundbreaking Innovation! ReCreated™ Peridot is part of the "ReCreated" concept by Swarovski utilizing glass breakage in the manufacturing process which would otherwise be waste, and remanufactures it. Therefore, all ReCreated™ colors use 40% less natural resources and reduces the environmental footprint by 34%! It is made from the same glass used in other Swarovski crystal colors so it therefore offers the same inherent properties making the color durable, permanent and resistant.
