August Birthstone Peridot Necklace

Peridot is the traditional August birthstone, recognised for its bright green colour and naturally fresh appearance. Its vibrant tone has made it one of the most distinctive birthstones, valued in jewellery for the way it brings light and colour without feeling heavy or ornate.

Historically, Peridot has been admired across cultures for centuries, often prized for its clarity and rarity. Ancient civilisations valued it for its luminous quality, and over time it became closely associated with August, securing its place as a classic birthstone rather than a passing trend.

As an August birthstone, Peridot reflects ideas of renewal through colour and form rather than symbolism alone. Its clear green hue gives August birthstone jewellery a sense of freshness and balance, making it a natural choice for designs that feel modern, wearable, and quietly expressive.

Q: Is the Peridot natural?
A: Yes. This necklace features a natural Peridot gemstone selected for its fresh green tone and smooth finish.

Q: What shape is the stone?
A: The stone is a pear shaped cabochon, offering a smooth, polished surface without faceting.

Q: How is the stone set?
A: The Peridot is bezel set, meaning the metal surrounds the stone for a clean, secure and modern finish.

Q: What metal options are available?
A: The necklace is available in 925 Sterling Silver, 9k Gold plated Sterling Silver, and 9k Rose Gold plated Sterling Silver.

Q: What does 9k Gold plated Sterling Silver mean?
A: This means a solid 925 Sterling Silver base is layered with 9k gold. Each piece is e-coated for added durability and to help maintain the finish over time.

Q: Is this necklace suitable for daily wear?
A: Yes. The low profile bezel setting and smooth cabochon finish make it comfortable and practical for everyday wear.

Q: Why do some birthstone pieces cost more than others?
A: Some gemstones are naturally rarer or more complex to source, which can influence pricing. Variations in material availability and production processes across different stones may also result in price differences within the birthstone collection.

A: Yes. This August Birthstone Peridot Necklace makes a thoughtful birthday gift. However, if you wish to gift any of your Indie and Harper products, please let us know in the notes section in your shopping cart and we will box them separately.
