Let’s take a look at each birthstone and find the one that is apt for the August-born you know.
Peridot
The word ‘peridot’ is derived from an Arabic word faridat, meaning gem. It is a yellowish-green to greenish-yellow gem variety of the mineral olivine. Sitting pretty on a silver or gold pendant, white gold ring, or rose gold earrings, it is a heart-warming sight to behold. And if this year, it is going to be your 16th wedding anniversary, Peridot is definitely a perfect gift for your better half to mark this big day.
Spinel
If you carefully observe spinel crystals, they appear to be in thorn shape, and thus it has been named ‘spinel’, which is derived from the Latin word ‘spina’, meaning thorn, is apt for this gorgeous gemstone. Be happy, Spinel is available in a range of colours. There are purple, blue, violet, and bluish-green to achieve a royal look, then there are also deep red, bright pink, and orange to go with your cocktail style. Know that, Spinel is the most memorable gift for your lady love to bring in your 22nd anniversary.
