August Birthstone Necklaces in Sterling Silver
August birthstone necklaces feature two recognized gems: peridot and spinel. Peridot forms deep in the Earth's mantle and reaches the surface through volcanic activity. Its yellow-green color comes from iron content within the olivine mineral structure. Spinel occurs in reds, pinks, and blues, with a Mohs hardness of 8 compared to peridot's 6.5–7. Our collection includes 431 necklaces, each set in .925 sterling silver with natural stones. Prices range from $479 to $38569. Free shipping to all US addresses.

Peridot and Spinel Pendants Set in .925 Silver
SilverRush Style has sourced peridot and spinel since 2005. Peridot deposits exist in Arizona, Myanmar, Pakistan, and the Zabargad Island in Egypt, where mining dates back over 3,500 years. The gem was called "the evening emerald" by Romans who noted its consistent color under lamplight. Spinel gained birthstone status for August in 2016, joining peridot on the official list maintained by the American Gem Trade Association. Our sterling silver settings protect these natural stones while allowing light to pass through. Each piece ships from our US facility with documentation of the .925 silver standard. The collection spans pendant sizes from subtle everyday pieces to substantial statement necklaces with multi-carat center stones. Browse by price, stone size, or setting style to find an August birthday gift or a personal addition to your collection. Our team answers questions about specific stones and can provide additional photographs of individual pieces before purchase.Frequently Asked Questions
