Gems of the Sun
Peridot is the birthstone for August and is used to mark 16th wedding anniversaries. Virgos also use peridot as their symbolic zodiac gemstone. Some believe that it can increase confidence and assertiveness, balanced by patience and clarity of thought. It is also known as a stone for prosperity and happiness.
What makes this stone all the more intriguing is its relationship with otherworldly bodies. Peridot deposits have been found in meteorites and comet dust, marking it as a truly cosmic material. In Hawaii, the famous Mahana beach is laden with granular peridot, giving the impression of vast expanses of green sand.
Sun Blessed Skin
and rose gold shades
There are several different reasons that jewellery looks different on different people, but one of the biggest factors is skin tone. Certain metals and gemstones look better against different skin tones. Designs crafted in rich rose gold look remarkable on those with warm skin tones. Warm hued gemstones such as Citrine, Garnet, Morganite, Peridot, Ruby or a gorgeous iridescent gemstone such as Mother of Pearl can also be a flattering choice.
