What Is the August Birthstone?

Peridot is the traditional birthstone for August and is admired for its fresh green color that ranges from soft lime to rich olive tones. Its bright, cheerful appearance has made it a favorite gemstone for generations and a perfect reflection of late summer.

Because of its unique green hue, Peridot stands out as one of the most recognizable birthstones and pairs beautifully with both gold and silver jewelry.

Throughout history, Peridot has been associated with:

• Renewal and new beginnings
