Happy Birthday August: Peridot Birthstone

Celebrate August with the Lively Glow of Peridot 💚

The Birthstone of Late Summer

If you were born in August, your birthstone is the vibrant and refreshing peridot—a gem known for its bright green hue and warm, radiant energy. Unlike many gemstones, peridot forms deep within the earth’s mantle and is sometimes even found in meteorites—how’s that for out of this world?

Its unmistakable green color ranges from soft lime to rich olive, depending on the amount of iron present. But no matter the shade, peridot has long been associated with light, healing, and abundance. The ancient Egyptians called it the “gem of the sun,” believing it protected its wearer from nightmares and evil spirits. Today, it’s still a symbol of renewal, positivity, and good fortune—perfect for a birthday gift or a meaningful treat for yourself.

What We Love About Peridot:

• Its lively green color pairs beautifully with both sterling silver and yellow gold

• It’s a stone that looks amazing on all skin tones

• It’s full of character, but still perfect for everyday wear

• It’s one of the few gems that only comes in one color—green!
