Celebrate August Birthdays with Peridot and Spinel: A Kaleidoscope of Colors at

August babies are in for a treat, as they have not one but two stunning birthstones to call their own - the vivacious peridot and the mesmerizing spinel. These gems are as unique and diverse as the individuals born in this lively month. Join us as we take a journey through history, explore some exquisite jewelry pieces, and discover the perfect birthstone gifts at Dickinson Jewelers!

Peridot and Spinel: A Gemological Tale

Peridot, often referred to as the "evening emerald," has a fascinating history that dates back to ancient Egypt. It was believed to protect against nightmares and evil spirits, making it a popular talisman among pharaohs and high priests. The greenish-gold gem is formed deep within the Earth and is associated with renewal, growth, and prosperity.

Spinel, on the other hand, has had a long history of mistaken identity. Often confused with rubies and sapphires, spinel is now recognized as a distinct gem with its own allure. Historically found in royal treasures, this gem symbolizes energy, empowerment, and strength. It comes in an array of colors, including fiery reds, soothing blues, and enchanting purples.

Earrings for the Modern Enchantress



Our first showstopper is a pair of 14k white gold peridot and diamond earrings that exudes elegance and charm.
