Welcome to the spell-binding world of August’s birthstone – peridot. Lively and refreshing, these beguiling gemstones are nestled within the olivine mineral family. Originating from the Arabic term ‘faridat’ that loosely translates to ‘gem’, peridots have been objects of admiration for centuries, winning hearts with their kaleidoscopic green hues – from delicate yellowish-greens to profound olive shades. 

Born deep within the Earth’s mantle and propelled to the surface with volcanic forces, peridots are in fact, one of the only gemstones known to be found outside of the earth – in celestial bodies like meteorites, and even the moon! They boast of an illustrious history, having captivated civilisations with their mesmerising green allure. Their positive virtues and fascinating colour have made them graceful additions to ornate rings and sacred adornments in the past, and chosen favourites for modern-day jewellery.

The gemstone’s vibrant green colour allows for versatile wear and is often paired with yellow gold to showcase its warm tones. Most commonly fashioned in rings, necklaces, bracelets or pendants, peridots make an attractive style statement for casual brunches or formal galas. Peridots are an intriguing step away from the luxury of emeralds, rubies, sapphires or diamonds, and tend to become conversation starters or compliment winners, wherever they go!

Step out fresh as a blooming bud, ripe with the hues of our peridots. Here are some stylish ways to incorporate peridot jewellery pieces into your wardrobe for various occasions, ensuring you are always tapping into your green glamour!
