Amanda’s Style File: August Arrivals
As far as birthstones are concerned, August babies have struck gold with their two options, writes Amanda Gizzi.
Silvia Furmanovich "Bamboo Earrings" in 18-karat yellow gold with diamond, peridot, and tsavorite
With August’s arrival comes a plethora of birthstone jewelry to covet, buy, and style.
Peridot might be the oldest of August’s birthstones, but it is having its own new movement with its bright cheery color, cost-effective bold look, and trend-forward appeal.
Peridot is no longer a dated gemstone. It looks gorgeous set in yellow gold. With yellow gold having a moment of its own, the gem and metal duo make for a dynamite combination.
Not to be outdone however, spinel is a superhero of gems.
