Every piece uses a certified natural peridot — earth-mined, not synthetic — with an authenticity certificate confirming the stone.

About Peridot — The August Birthstone
Peridot is the gem-quality form of olivine, coloured by iron intrinsic to the mineral itself — which is why it occurs in only one colour family. It forms deep in the earth’s mantle and reaches the surface through volcanic activity. Remarkably, peridot has also been found in meteorites, making it one of the very few gemstones with a confirmed extraterrestrial origin. Ancient Egyptians called it the “gem of the sun” — many “emeralds” in ancient jewellery, including those associated with Cleopatra, are now believed to be peridot. At Mohs 6.5–7, peridot is moderately durable.
Peridot is associated with happiness, prosperity, confidence, protection, and positive energy across cultures.

Frequently Asked Questions
About the Collection
Q: What types of August birthstone jewellery are available?
A: Rings (open wrap with topaz, baguette, solitaire, octagon), earrings (minimal studs, verdant leaf), and necklaces and pendants (solitaire, geometric, hamsa). 22 active designs in genuine 925 sterling silver with certified natural peridot. From ₹1,999.
Q: Can I wear peridot jewellery even if I wasn’t born in August?
A: Absolutely. Peridot is worn for its vibrant lime-green colour, its symbolism of happiness and positive energy, its association with the 16th anniversary, and as a Virgo zodiac stone. Its uplifting colour works across skin tones and styles regardless of birth month.
Q: Why choose August birthstone jewellery?
A: Because peridot is genuinely unusual — one of the only gemstones that occurs in one colour, formed in the earth’s mantle, found in meteorites, and historically confused with emerald by the ancients. It combines distinctive appearance with real geological rarity. A natural peridot piece at factory-direct pricing in certified 925 silver is a more considered gift than most coloured stone alternatives at the same price.
About Peridot
Q: What is the August birthstone?
A: Peridot. A bright lime to olive green gemstone, one of the very few gems that occurs in only one colour. Associated with happiness, prosperity, confidence, protection, and positive energy.
Q: What does peridot symbolise?
A: Good fortune, happiness, prosperity, confidence, protection, and renewal. Ancient Egyptians called it the “gem of the sun” and believed it warded off evil spirits. Across cultures it is associated with light, warmth, and positive energy — particularly fitting for an August birthstone given the stone’s vivid, sunny green colour.
Q: Is the peridot in this collection natural?
A: Yes. Every piece uses a natural, earth-mined peridot with a gemstone authenticity certificate. Not synthetic, not green glass.
Q: What colour is peridot?
A: Yellow-green to olive to vivid lime green. Unlike most gemstones, peridot cannot be coloured by trace elements — its colour comes from iron intrinsic to the mineral itself. This is why it exists in only one colour family. The most prized peridots are a vivid, intense lime green.
Q: Is it true that peridot is found in meteorites?
A: Yes. Peridot forms in the earth’s mantle and also occurs in certain meteorites (pallasites). It is one of the very few gemstones with a confirmed extraterrestrial origin — making it geologically unique among all birthstones.
Q: Is peridot suitable for everyday wear?
A: Earrings and pendants are suitable for daily wear. At Mohs 6.5–7, peridot is moderately durable. For rings, remove before heavy physical activity and impact. Peridot is also sensitive to sudden temperature changes — avoid extreme heat.
