August Birthstone - Peridot

Once a hidden gem, peridot is now the treasured birthstone for the month of August and a popular jewelry selection for people born in this month. With its distinguished and attractive yellow green color, peridot is also recognized as the sixteenth anniversary gem and Leo’s zodiac stone, representing fame, dignity, protection and success. Peridot was once used to attract prosperity and wealth and, by the Renaissance times, it became a love stone with the purpose of helping people find romance. Prior to that and as early as 1500 BC, however, the Egyptians considered it to be the gem of the sun and thought it could heal the heart.

Peridot gems have a distinctive fresh lime green color and make beautiful pieces of jewelry, whether set in a ring, bracelet or necklace. Peridot jewelry should be stored with care in order to avoid scratches, and, because the gemstone is sensitive, avoid letting the stone undergo rapid changes in temperature. Clean with mild dish soap.

We offer a wide and attractive selection of peridot jewelry. Come visit our store to see for yourself!
