Peridot Jewelry — The Lime-Green August Birthstone
Peridot is summer in a stone. Its bright, fresh lime-green — sometimes called "the evening emerald" for the way it glows in low light — is unlike any other gem. Every piece in this collection is set by hand in solid 925 sterling silver, pairing that vivid green with a metal made to last.
Peridot as the August Birthstone
Peridot is the official birthstone for August, making it a sunny, uplifting gift for anyone born at the height of summer. Traditionally it's been linked to strength, light, and good fortune — ancient cultures believed it had protective powers and could ward off negativity. It's also the gem of the 16th wedding anniversary. That blend of cheerful color and meaning makes peridot jewelry feel both personal and joyful.
Why Peridot?
Peridot is the gem-quality form of the mineral olivine, and it's one of the few gemstones that occurs in only one color — green. Its exact shade ranges from yellowish lime to rich olive, determined by the amount of iron in the stone. Remarkably, peridot is one of the only gems also found in meteorites, giving it a genuine cosmic backstory. The ancient Egyptians mined it on a remote Red Sea island and called it "the gem of the sun." Bright, durable, and full of light, peridot brings instant freshness to any piece.
Styling Tips
- Everyday brightness: A small peridot stud or pendant adds a cheerful pop of green that lifts neutrals and summer outfits effortlessly.
- Statement green: A larger peridot on a ring or drop earring makes a vivid focal point — especially striking against white, cream, navy, or black.
- Color pairing: Peridot's lime-green glows against white, gold, coral, denim, and earthy browns — naturally suited to warm, sunny palettes.
- Mixing metals: Crisp and fresh in sterling silver, and warm and glowing against gold tones — peridot flatters both.
- Layering: Stack a delicate peridot piece with plain silver bands, or pair it with citrine or clear stones for a bright, sunlit look.
Caring for Your Peridot Jewelry
Peridot is reasonably durable but softer than many gems, so it benefits from gentle care. Clean with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly — and avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam, harsh chemicals, and sudden temperature changes, which can damage the stone. Store your peridot pieces separately so the silver setting doesn't scratch against other jewelry. (For the full routine, see our [sterling silver cleaning guide].)
Crafted by AG925
Each piece is made in our workshop in India, where traditional silversmithing meets clean, modern design. We hand-select every peridot for the brightness and evenness of its green, then finish each setting individually — so the gem in the photo is the standard you'll receive, not the exception.
