August Birthstones:
Peridot or Carnelian
Peridot
August is one those months where the traditional and modern birthstones are different. We love peridot jewelry for it has a gentle yet pretty green color. Carnelian has beautiful color and is equally seductive carved or as a cabochon. See our website for examples of birthstone jewelry that we have in stock.
