Peridot Stud Earrings from China
Classic stud earrings featuring round-cut natural peridot gems in prong settings on silver posts. Classified as 'other' jewelry articles under HTS 7116.20.15.00 because peridot (semiprecious stone) provides the essential character, not the minor metal components.

Import Tips
• Test for lead/cadmium in settings; children's jewelry has strict limits
• Batch imports by color grade to simplify uniform declarations
• Avoid 'pearl' mislabeling; peridot is distinctly semiprecious
