With its perfect Spring-green hue, Peridot has always spoken to me of fresh beginnings, and growth, and vitality. It has a vibrant energy and an optimism that is utterly contagious!
As one of the oldest known gemstones, it has a rich and colourful history.... Napoleon presented Josephine with Peridot as an assurance of his undying love and affection, and legends tell that is was Cleopatra's favourite gem. When set in gold, it was traditionally worn as a talisman for good luck and prosperity.
Peridot is the official birthstone for August, and is the gemstone for those celebrating their 16th wedding anniversary.
