A taste of the stone

August Birthstone Jewellery

Nº 08·Peridot·Leo · Virgo

Peridot only comes in one colour — its own lime green — so buying is about brightness and clean cutting. It's an underpriced stone; often the gold in the setting costs more than the gem.

FAQ

Buying August's birthstone

What makes a good August birthstone gift?▾

A peridot piece is the natural August birthday gift. Pendants and stud earrings are the safest choices — no ring-size guesswork — while a ring or bracelet makes a bigger statement. Every piece here is labelled for exactly what it is (the metal, and whether the stone is natural, lab-created or simulated), so you can match the gift to your budget honestly.

Are lab-created or simulated stones worth buying?▾

Often, yes. A lab-created stone is the same material as a natural one at a fraction of the price; a simulated stone (or CZ / moissanite) only imitates the look. Neither is "fake" when it's sold honestly — so every piece on this shelf is labelled natural, cultured, lab-created, or simulated, and none is passed off as another.

What should you look for when buying peridot?▾

Peridot — look for lime green; at Mohs 6.5–7 it stands up to everyday wear. Above all, check what the piece actually is — solid gold versus plated, natural versus lab-created — which every listing here states plainly.
