August Jewelry
Jewelry / Birthstones Jewelry / AugustPeridots are the gem of choice for August jewelry. The birthstone of August is a member of the olivine family of minerals. Olivine is actually quite common. But the purity and clarity of gemstones that produce the peridots is extremely rare, in comparison. The color of peridots is generally olive green. The darkest olive green is the rarest and most valued of colors. Some people mistake peridots for emeralds. But, the olive green color usually tells the truth about peridots. In ancient times, peridots came into ornamentation through Egyptian mining operations. August jewelry shines with the olive green of the peridots. The yellow gold settings usually bring out the greener tones of the peridots, while the white gold highlights the browner undertone. They make the perfect way to mark the birth of an August baby. Whether you present a charm, necklace, or ring to the new mother, it makes the perfect gift.
