August Birthstone Jewelry in Sterling Silver
August jewellery celebrates two distinct gemstones: peridot and spinel. Peridot forms deep in the Earth's mantle and reaches the surface through volcanic activity, giving it that signature olive-green color from iron content. Spinel occurs in reds, pinks, and blues, often found alongside rubies in the same deposits. Both stones rate 6.5-8 on the Mohs hardness scale, making them suitable for daily wear. Our collection features 130,231 pieces set in .925 sterling silver, each mounted with natural, unaltered stones sourced from verified suppliers.

Natural Peridot and Spinel Set in .925 Silver Settings
Peridot has been mined for over 3,500 years, with the earliest deposits on the Egyptian island of Zabargad in the Red Sea. Modern sources include Arizona's San Carlos Reservation, Myanmar, Pakistan, and China. The stone's green ranges from yellow-green to deep olive, determined by iron concentration during formation. Unlike many gems, peridot exists in only one color family. Spinel joined peridot as an official August birthstone in 2016, recognized by the American Gem Trade Association. For centuries, red spinels were mistaken for rubies—the Black Prince's Ruby in the British Crown Jewels is actually a 170-carat spinel. Natural spinel forms in marble and alluvial deposits across Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Tanzania, and Vietnam. Every piece in this collection uses .925 sterling silver, the jewelry industry standard containing 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper for durability. We ship free within the United States and have served customers since 2005.

August has two official birthstones: peridot and spinel. Peridot has represented August for centuries, while spinel was added in 2016 by the American Gem Trade Association and Jewelers of America.
Is peridot durable enough for everyday jewelry?
Peridot rates 6.5-7 on the Mohs hardness scale. This makes it suitable for earrings, pendants, and occasional-wear rings. For daily ring wear, settings with protective bezels help prevent chips.
How can I tell if peridot is natural?
Natural peridot often contains tiny dark inclusions called "lily pads" when viewed under magnification. The color should appear consistent olive-green to yellow-green. Lab reports from gemological institutes provide verification for higher-value pieces.
What makes spinel valuable?
Spinel's value depends on color saturation, clarity, and origin. Red and pink spinels from Myanmar command premium prices. The stone's natural brilliance requires no heat treatment, unlike many rubies and sapphires on the market.
