Celebrate August in Color: Peridot & Spinel

August is one of the rare months that sparkles with two birthstones—and both are breathtaking in their own way.

Peridot with its vivid green glow, has long been a symbol of strength, renewal, and radiant energy. I always think of it as summer’s most joyful gem—sunlight caught in stone.

Spinel, the lesser-known treasure of August, comes in a range of rich, sophisticated shades—ruby red, violet, rose, even steely gray. Elegant and unexpected, it’s a favorite among collectors and designers alike. Spinel is super sparkly due to its high refractive index.

Whether you’re honoring a birthday or simply drawn to bold color and thoughtful craftsmanship, our curated collection of artisan pieces featuring Peridot and Spinel is a joy to explore.

✨ Let’s find your perfect birthstone piece—or design something custom just for you!

Warmly,
