About Birthstone Jewelry

August Birthstone: Peridot

The lively light green hue of August's birthstone conveys positive energy and optimism, and those born in August are said to be happy, generous people. Peridot is also believed to promote tranquility, enhance speech, and foster good relationships in marriage.

History of Birthstones

Chances are you can name your birthstone, but have you ever wondered how certain stones came to be associated with particular months? Most gem scholars trace the tradition to the Old Testament story of Aaron, whose breastplate was decorated with twelve precious stones, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. Over time, these stones were linked with certain powers and tied to particular astrological signs, and later to calendar months.

There are many variations of birthstone lists, including Mystical birthstones, which originate from Tibet and date back over a thousand years, and Ayurvedic birthstones, associated with ancient Indian medicine and beliefs. Birthstones have also been tied to ancient Pagan religions, and even to the collective wisdom of the legendary lost city of Atlantis.

The Modern birthstone list, perhaps the most universally known, was released by the American National Association of Jewelers and officially adopted in 1912. Whether you embrace birthstone lore, or look upon it with a skeptical eye, there is an undeniable appeal to collecting a beautiful gemstone that is reputed to hold special power, meaning, and good fortune just for you.

Highly recommend. The stones are much larger than I expected, and very clear and shiny. Color is very nice and it not your run of the mill bracelet. Stones are secure and the setting looks nice. I'm usually hesitant to buy jewelery on line but this piece was an exception. My wife is a very picky about jewelry and she loved it and wears it a lot and gets a lot of compliments. I can't really say if the price was great, but it was worth it to me to give her something she liked.

My local jeweler evaluated this bracelet at no more than $100 - far less that the evaluated price on the site, and a lot less than I actually paid. I don't think I'll be buying jewelry on line in the future.
