Fiery Gemstones
August's brilliant dual birthstones, fiery Spinel and vivid Peridot, dazzle with their rich elemental hues. Among the most coveted Spinels are the vibrant red varieties from Myanmar, displaying intense shades rivaling rubies. This gemstone shared the red gem spotlight with rubies for several centuries. Peridot enchants with its unique olive greens and golden hues, reminiscent of shimmering sunlight on new foliage. With a toughness of 8 on the Mohs scale, both Spinel and Peridot are remarkably durable, perfect for daily wear. Spinel is revered for symbolizing revitalization, ambition and eternal love. Meanwhile, Peridot represents sunshine and wonderful new beginnings. These August gems are also celebratory tokens for the 22nd and 16th wedding anniversaries respectively.
The finest Spinels emerge from the historic gem mines of Myanmar and Vietnam, while exemplary Peridots are sourced from many locations, including the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation and Pakistan. Spinel, the "great impostor," was often mistaken for ruby in antique jewelry, while Peridot, formed under extreme volcanic conditions, has adorned gemstone lovers since ancient times.
Our collection showcases an exquisite medley of ethically-sourced Spinel and Peridot gemstones, ready for your collection or next August birthstone jewelry. Whether vibrant spinel rings capturing perseverance or symbolic Peridot gifts embodying nature's radiance, get in touch with us with your vision & let us bring your unique treasure to life.
