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.
It is a gemstone that is strong and powerful with a wide range of color options that suit any gem lovers craving color.
