Collection: Peridot and Spine

August is graced with two stunning birthstones—Peridot and Spinel—each offering its own unique beauty and symbolism. Peridot, with its vibrant green glow, is often called the “gem of the sun.” It was cherished by ancient Egyptians, who believed it held the sun’s power and could ward off evil spirits. Found in volcanic rock and even in meteorites, Peridot symbolizes prosperity, peace, and renewal. Its fresh, olive-green hue is associated with nature, healing, and emotional clarity, making it a powerful stone for uplifting the spirit and opening the heart. On the other hand, Spinel is a hidden gem that comes in a rainbow of colors—most famously red, but also pink, violet, blue, and more. For centuries, Spinel was mistaken for ruby, even adorning royal crowns. Today, it is valued for its own brilliance and durability. Spinel is believed to represent resilience, revitalization, and strength, and is often worn to inspire passion, calm stress, and support emotional healing. Together, Peridot and Spinel offer a beautiful balance of serenity and strength, making them perfect stones for anyone born in August—or anyone seeking a vibrant, meaningful connection to nature, transformation, and inner light.
