HISTORY OF THE AUGUST BIRTHSTONE

Peridot is the rare gem-quality variety of the mineral olivine, which forms deep inside the Earth’s
mantle and is brought to the surface by volcanoes in Hawaii. In Hawaii, peridot once symbolized the
tears of Pele, the volcano goddess of fire who controls the flow of lava. Rarely, peridot is found
inside meteorites. Most of the world’s supply comes from San Carlos Reservation in Arizona, China,
Africa, and Pakistan. Ancient papyri record the mining of these stones as early as 1500 BC in the
Egyptian Red Sea, being used for carved talismans.

THE EVENING EMERALD

The Personalized Triple Heart Necklace and the Engraved Mom Birthstone Necklace are two special pieces and are just
right to gift to mom celebrating her birth month and the ones of those closest to her. Both heart
necklaces can be customized with one’s name and gemstone as well as their nearest and dearest including
the glorious peridot! Named the ‘Evening Emerald’ because of its glow under the starlight or lantern, it
is without a doubt that the stone will result in a shining piece that will catch eyes whenever worn.

MEANING OF THE AUGUST BIRTHSTONE

The national gem of Egypt, the peridot is known as ‘the gem of the sun’. The peridot brings happiness and
good cheer, keeping one on the sunny side of life. It is considered to be an aid to friendship and free
the mind of envious thoughts. It is also said to protect the wearer from evil eye. It is claimed to
open, cleanse, and activate the heart, which can help one to release old baggage and all burdens,
obsessions, and guilts will become cleared and one will experience a feeling of well-being. As well, the
stone is given to celebrate the 16th year of marriage.

A BRILLIANT VIBRANT GEM

One of the few gemstones that occur in one color, the peridot’s brilliant glow allows for any jewelry
piece to stand out. The Baby Feet Bangle Bracelet is a meaningful
token of love including baby feet charms which can be customized with one’s name and their date of
birth, as well as their birthstone. The Vertical Infinity Necklace with
Birthstones can be customized with two names and their birthstones. Both pieces symbolize the
loving bond between family members with the stylish and meaningful touch of a birthstone. One who is
born in August can expect the peridot to make a true statement through these pieces.
