August is a month full of warmth, sunshine, and celebration – and what better way to honor it than with its brilliant birthstone, the peridot? Known for its striking green color, it has been cherished for centuries and remains a favorite choice for jewelry lovers today. At Westphal Jewelers, we’re proud to offer exquisite peridot jewelry, as well as custom designs to help you celebrate life’s special moments.

The Meaning and History of Peridot

Peridot is one of the few gemstones that naturally comes in only one color—a vibrant green that ranges from golden-lime to deep olive. Often called the “gem of the sun,” it has been admired since ancient Egypt, where it was believed to ward off evil spirits and bring protection. Today, it’s seen as a stone of renewal, strength, and harmony—perfect qualities to represent summer’s energy and vitality.

Why Peridot Jewelry Makes the Perfect August Gift

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or simply want to add a touch of color to your collection, peridot is a thoughtful and meaningful choice. Its cheerful hue pairs beautifully with both gold and silver settings, making it versatile for everything from casual fashion jewelry to fine heirloom pieces.

At Westphal Jewelers, we carry a selection of peridot necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings. And if you have a unique vision in mind, our expert jewelers can create a custom piece designed just for you.

Caring for Your Peridot Jewelry

Peridot is durable but requires gentle care to maintain its brilliance. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or extreme temperature changes, and always store it in a soft-lined jewelry box. Regular cleaning can help keep your jewelry sparkling. Remember to bring your piece to Westphal Jewelers, and we’ll professionally clean and inspect it to ensure it remains as radiant as the day you bought it!
