August Birthstones
August Birthstones: Peridot, Spinel & Sardonyx
Choose a traditional birthstone or a modern alternative.
August has three official birthstones: Peridot, Spinel, and Sardonyx. Each gem carries its own unique colours, symbolism, and history, making August one of the most diverse birthstone months.
August’s birthstones reflect strength, diversity, and resilience. Peridot shines with its cosmic green glow, Spinel dazzles with its rainbow versatility, and Sardonyx grounds with its earthy stripes. Together, they embody warmth and energy.
