August’s peridot captures nature's calming energy in vibrant shades of green.
Celebrated for centuries as a symbol of good health, restful sleep, renewal, and peacefulness, peridot is thought to calm anger and bring prosperity and good fortune. Its name comes from the Arabic word 'faridat,' meaning 'gem,' reflecting its timeless appeal and value. Peridot is the birthstone for August and the traditional gemstone for a sixteenth anniversary.
This dazzling green gemstone, also known as olivine, appears in shades ranging from yellow-green to rich olive, its unique coloration from its mineral composition, giving each stone its own distinctive character.
Alternate birthstones for August include spinel, available in a playful variety of natural colours, and sardonyx. Explore our August Birthstone Collection, featuring unique peridot pieces to celebrate your birth month.
