Peridot: August's birthstone & the ancient gem of the sun
The perfect gift for a leo & virgo
Born between August 1st and August 22nd, Leos are a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun. Symbolized by the lion, Leos are often cheerful, warm-hearted, and absolutely intoxicating to be around. They adore bright colors, lavish things, and being treated like a king or queen—making a Peridot jewelry item a very fitting birthday gift for your Leo!
Wrapping up the end of August, August-born Virgos celebrate their birthday anywhere from the 23rd to the 31st. The element that rules Virgo is Earth, which aligns splendidly with the Peridot gemstone as most come from lava and the earth’s mantle. Virgos are known to be hardworking, loyal, nature-loving souls, which is why celebrating your loyal Virgo with a Peridot gemstone jewelry gift is the perfect birthday gift!
