August Birthstones

August is one of the other very lucky months to have three birthstones.

Peridot:

This gorgeous green gemstone can sometimes be confused with others such as emerald or topaz, so much so that some historians speculate some of Cleopatra’s famous emerald collection could have included peridot. For many centuries’ peridot has been used as a protective charm, protecting wearers against evil spirits and nightmares. It is the gem given to celebrate the 15^th wedding anniversary. Interestingly some peridot has come to earth via meteorites, making this gem rather out of this world. Peridot is the most well known of the three August birthstones, and it’s obvious beauty makes it the favourite.

This beautiful limited edition peridot and diamond floral cluster ring is the perfect way to show off this wonderful birthstone. Limited to only one in stock this ring is a Deakin & Francis one of a kind. Whether it be a gift or a treat for yourself, this ring showcases the stunning peridot gemstones.

Spinel:

Spinel can be found in a huge array of colours. The name derives from the Latin word spina, which means thorn and is linked to the shape of spinel crystals. Due to the variety of colours this gemstone can be found, through out the centuries it has been mistaken for other gemstones. In fact the historic red spinel that is set in the Imperial State Crown was previously believed to be ruby. This gemstone is the traditional gift for the 22^nd wedding anniversary.

Sardonyx:

Sardonyx is the most ancient of these three birthstones. This stone gained its popularity in Roman times and was used as seals and signet rings due to the fact hot wax would not stick to it. Sardonyx was also a popular carving material for cameos. Today this stone is associated with happiness, courage and clear communication, thus bringing stability to marriage and partnership.
