August Birthstone

Bright, cheerful, and unmistakably summer, peridot is one of the few gemstones that comes in only one color — a vivid, lime-tinged green that ranges from pale yellow-green to rich olive. As the birthstone for August, peridot has been prized since ancient times, when it was called the "gem of the sun" and believed to ward off evil and bring good fortune. At Croghan's Jewel Box, our August birthstone collection brings together a carefully curated selection of peridot jewelry, from delicate everyday pieces to more striking statement designs — whether you're celebrating an August birthday or simply drawn to peridot's distinctive warmth. Shop online or visit us at 155 King Street in Charleston, and we'll help you find the perfect piece.
