Even though it’s still hot in Arizona, Fall starts this month, and so does the celebration for August babes! Your birthstone is the beautiful, vibrant green peridot, an Arizona statement piece, and a deeply meaningful stone. If you are passionate about jewelry (and why wouldn't you be), we have a few birthday gift options for you that are perfect for celebrating your gemstone!
We’ll start with the icon of the jewelry world, pendants! The ancient Egyptians first found peridot on the Red Sea island of Topazios. As more of this gem was found, held up to the light. You can carry a piece of the sun with you in many different styles! Peridot gems are versatile and can be cut and placed into many different shapes and sizes, so our array of peridot pendants features all different kinds of cuts! Choose from a swooped charm with a specially cut peridot and some diamond accents, or even a more statement-like piece with a large diamond halo!
As history and beliefs evolved, so did the discovery of new spiritual properties connected to the gemstone. Peridot is said to bring playfulness, prosperity, and emotional healing to its wearer. It is considered the stone of healing in many cultures! Peridot is also said to be related to the planet of Mercury, which rules over Leo, Libra, and Gemini star signs. Gods of liveliness and fertility were deeply rooted in the peridot lore and origin story that is still growing even to this day with discoveries in society. Peridot is very often put into earrings of all kinds, mostly because when it is found, it is often smaller deposits! Yellow gold and this gemstone are a duo that sticks together. Every color is brought out with our large lineup of diamond-accented yellow-gold earrings. Whether you prefer studs or dangles, it doesn’t matter! We have so many to choose from that will feature not only your beautiful birth month but also YOU!
Peridot has been a timeless gemstone for hundreds of generations. Although they are not as popular as pearls or diamonds, they have still made their way into the world of fame in minuscule yet noticeable ways! Anna Wintour, a world-famous fashion designer, wore a stunning diamond and peridot tiara to the Met Gala in 2022. This tiara created an impact in Hollywood and made Peridot more seen throughout the world. At the same event only in 2019, Benedict Cumberbatch wore a beautiful diamond and peridot brooch, the apple green color was stunning on his white suit set, super chic! If you want a timeless way to wear a rising star gemstone, why not choose from our rings? Try out our East-West ring that fashionably features your bright green stone! Or show your everlasting love with an infinity band for our August babies. If you want something more vintage, try an emerald-cut weaving ring, just stunning!
Bracelets are another phenomenal way to wear a perfect peridot stone. When a peridot is hit by the sun on your wrist, the gleam can only be described as heaven on earth. You can choose from 14k yellow gold, or even a more sturdier option and go with sterling silver in a twisted fashion! Whichever you choose, just know the stone that is featured is one you should be proud to wear.
So, now you have some ideas for what you want to show your birth month pride with! Peridot is a gorgeous stone for a gorgeously diverse group of people. Happy birthday from Sami’s
