AUGUST GIFTS
Peridot & Spinel
August belongs to peridot and spinel, two distinctive gemstones with very different personalities, from the vivid greens of peridot to the remarkable spectrum of colour found in spinel.
Peridot
Peridot is one of the few gemstones found in only one colour family, its distinctive green ranging from yellowish-green to a richer olive green. Formed deep within the Earth and found in some meteorites, peridot has an extraordinary connection to both our planet and beyond.
Peridot Colours: Yellowish-green to olive green, with the finest stones displaying a vivid, saturated green.
Historical associations: Protection, prosperity and renewal. Peridot has been treasured since antiquity and was historically believed to protect its wearer from darkness and bring good fortune.
Perfect for: Growth, renewal, prosperity and new beginnings.
Spinel
Often mistaken for ruby and sapphire throughout history, spinel is a gemstone in its own right, prized for its brilliance and extraordinary range of colour. Some of the world's most famous historic “rubies” have since been identified as red spinel.
Spinel Colours: Red, pink, orange, blue, purple, grey, black and colourless varieties.
Historical associations: Protection, vitality and renewal. Spinel has been treasured for centuries and, because of its resemblance to ruby, became part of some of the world's most celebrated historic jewels.
Perfect for: Individuality, resilience, new beginnings and meaningful milestones.
