When summer is at its brightest and the days are drenched in golden light, August babies are lucky enough to claim Peridot as their birthstone. Known for its luminous green glow that seems to capture the essence of sunshine itself, peridot is more than just a striking gem—it’s a stone steeped in history, meaning, and beauty.

At Amare Wear, we celebrate the individuality and significance of birthstones, curating jewelry that feels as personal as it is timeless. From our Baguette Peridot Cuff Ring to our Peridot Snake Silver Ring, and from the Celebration Collection – August Birthstone Necklace Peridot to the Birthday Necklace August – Peridot 14k Gold Necklace, every design captures the unique energy of this extraordinary stone.

Whether you wear it to mark a milestone, as a daily talisman, or as a thoughtful gift for someone born in August, peridot’s radiant green offers more than just beauty—it brings symbolism, history, and a touch of natural magic.

The Story and Symbolism of Peridot

Peridot has been revered for thousands of years, admired by ancient Egyptians who called it the “gem of the sun.” They believed it could ward off nightmares and harness the power of light. Legends say that Cleopatra’s famed emerald collection may have in fact been peridot, so prized was the stone in her time.

In modern crystal lore, peridot is associated with:

  • Positivity and Renewal – Its fresh, green hue evokes growth and vitality.

  • Emotional Balance – Thought to calm the mind and ease jealousy or resentment.

  • Prosperity and Protection – Linked to good fortune and shielding from negativity.

It’s also unique in the gem world because its vibrant green color comes from its mineral composition rather than trace impurities—meaning its brilliance is truly its own.

The Unique Glow of Peridot

Unlike emerald, which can have varying undertones, peridot has a distinctive golden-green glow that looks warm and inviting in any light. The stone ranges from a soft, mossy green to an intense lime, often with subtle golden flashes that make it ideal for both silver and gold settings.

Peridot is most beautiful when cut to highlight its clarity and brightness, and Amare Wear’s designs are crafted with this in mind. The clean lines of the Baguette Peridot Cuff Ring, for example, allow light to travel through the stone uninterrupted, creating that captivating sparkle with every movement.

At Amare Wear, we believe birthstone jewelry should be more than a symbolic gesture—it should be a keepsake of fine design and meaningful craftsmanship. Each peridot piece is intentionally designed to highlight both the gem’s natural beauty and the wearer’s unique story.

The Perfect Gift for August Birthdays

Birthstone jewelry is an inherently personal gift—it tells the recipient you’ve thought about who they are and chosen something deeply connected to their identity. For August birthdays, peridot offers not just a visual delight, but a gemstone rich in positivity and protective qualities.

An Amare Wear peridot piece becomes more than an accessory—it’s a marker of life’s bright moments, a celebration of individuality, and a lasting treasure.

Caring for Your Peridot Jewelry

Peridot is a relatively soft gemstone (6.5–7 on the Mohs scale), so caring for it properly will preserve its beauty:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals – Remove your jewelry when cleaning or swimming in chlorinated water.

  • Store separately – Keep peridot pieces in a soft pouch to prevent scratching from harder gems.

  • Gentle cleaning – Use warm soapy water and a soft brush to maintain its sparkle.

Why Choose Amare Wear for Your Birthstone Jewelry?

Our philosophy is simple: jewelry should feel as special as the moments it represents. We source our peridots with care, focusing on clarity, cut, and color to ensure each stone meets our high standards. Then, we design settings that amplify the gem’s beauty while offering comfort and versatility.

From minimalist silhouettes to symbolic designs, Amare Wear’s August birthstone collection blends craftsmanship with meaning. Each piece is more than just jewelry—it’s a story you can wear.
