PERIDOT JEWELRY - AUGUST BIRTHSTONE
The only gemstone born from fire. Peridot is one of the few gems formed not in the earth’s crust, but deep in the mantle — carried to the surface by volcanic eruption. Ancient Egyptians called it the gem of the sun. It is the color of new leaves, of late summer light, of the moment just before golden hour.

THE STONE
Peridot’s signature yellow-green color comes from iron — and unlike most gemstones, it appears in only one color. What varies is intensity: from pale chartreuse to a deep, saturated olive green that feels almost electric in sunlight.
It has been found in meteorites. It was Cleopatra’s favorite stone. And it remains one of the most cheerful, life-affirming colors in the entire gem world.
THE COLLECTION
You’ll find peridot earrings and necklaces that celebrate the stone’s vivid, sun-warmed color — set in oxidized silver and gold fill, often paired with labradorite, garnet, and citrine for pieces that feel like the last bright days of summer.
Many pieces are one of a kind, chosen for the liveliness and saturation of their green.
