August Peridot
7 July 2025 • 3 min read
Of August’s three birthstones, the Peridot is the gem of sunlight. With its vivid, golden-green glow and inspiring vibration, Peridot has been a symbol of life, joy, and emotional clarity for thousands of years.
Worn to celebrate a birthday, new beginning, or personal transformation, Peridot is a gemstone that radiates good energy—attitude and style.
Peridot is a stone of individual strength and protection. Renowned for centuries as a keeper away from envy, fear, and nightmares, this beautiful green gemstone has also been called the “evening emerald” because of its ability to radiate with an inner light no matter what circumstances it finds itself in.
Tightly resonant with the heart and solar plexus chakras, Peridot is said to eliminate emotional obstructions, boost self-esteem, and promote forgiveness—positioning it as a great stone for those undergoing emotional healing or change.
Due to its association with sun energy, it is a beautiful reminder of warmth, light, and rebirth. Peridot was cherished in ancient Egypt as the “gem of the sun” and believed to possess nature’s vibrant energy.
It still serves as a powerful symbol today for those who wish to welcome balance and joy into their lives.
With its vivid, citrus-green colour, Peridot looks especially bright when paired against yellow gold.
The two balance out each other’s warm undertones and give the stone a glowing sheen which is perfect for jewellery that needs to be light, airy, and glowing.
