{"title":"August Birthstone: Peridot","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe August birthstone is peridot, the gem variety of the mineral olivine. Its lime to olive green comes from iron, so peridot occurs in only one colour family. Spinel and sardonyx are also listed for August.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeridot is 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale: good for pendants and earrings, and for rings with a protective setting. It is the traditional 16th anniversary gem, and fine stones come from Pakistan, Myanmar, Arizona and Sri Lanka.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor August birthstone jewelry we offer the Leo zodiac necklace, a 925 sterling silver constellation coin with natural peridot at its brightest star (the other stars are labelled lab-grown diamonds), and a natural untreated Ceylon peridot of 28.53 ct, a statement stone for your own jeweller to set in a ring or pendant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat colour is the August birthstone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen.

It suits a bold cocktail ring for the middle or index finger, or a pendant on a substantial chain. Peridot is Mohs 6.5 to 7, softer than sapphire, so a full or partial bezel is the best choice for a ring, and a pendant is the easiest way to wear it every day. Yellow gold deepens the green; white gold and platinum make it look cooler and brighter. The stone is 10.4 mm deep, so a standard mount will not fit it.
