Birthday Jewelry for August: Peridot

Thanks to the long, dark winter nights of November, there are countless August birthdays coming. This super chic 18k white gold peridot tennis bracelet from Blue Nile is a fab way to show you care. Alternatively, a pair of peridot studs with 18k white golds or a peridot solitaire pendant are equally stylish ways to say it with jewelry.

Said to be associated with qualities like love, loyalty, truth, and faithfulness, the peridot has been used in healing rituals for lungs, breasts, sinus, and lymphs, while others enlist them to help bring about prosperity, openness, fame, and protection - as evidenced by this old poem:

 

Wear a peridot or for thee,
no conjugal fidelity.
The August born without this stone,
'tis said, must live unloved alone.
