August Birthstone Peridot Necklace

PERIDOT MEANING

Peridot is a gemstone steeped in history and vibrant energy. Known as the “gem of the sun,” Peridot has been treasured for thousands of years, with ancient Egyptians believing it held the power to ward off evil spirits. It was often called the “evening emerald” due to its glowing green hue that remains vivid even under artificial light.

This radiant green stone is found primarily in Arizona, Myanmar, Pakistan, and parts of the Middle East. Its unique colouring comes from the presence of iron, giving it its signature lively shades of lime to olive green.

Peridot symbolises growth, renewal and protection. It is believed to clear negative energy and bring emotional balance, encouraging confidence, creativity and abundance. Wearing Peridot jewellery invites a fresh start and positive energy - a beautiful talisman for those embracing change or seeking healing.
