Celebrate Summer in the City with August’s Peridot
Epitomising the vibrant, joyful spirit of a beautiful summer’s day, bright green peridot is the perfect gemstone to represent August as its birthstone.
A distinct and unique gemstone boasting a rich history, peridot has been found in pallasitemeteorites, remnants of the birth of our solar system,and was first discovered by humans on the island of Zabargadin the Red Sea. One of Kiki’s all-time favourite stones, peridot features in our core collections as well as our yearly Special Editions collections.
Captivating worn alone or mixed with gemstones such as blue topaz or fire opal, peridot’s striking green is illuminated when set in 18ct yellow gold. For a subtle green look, our Grace collection features round and pear-cut gemstones set in a halo of sparkling diamonds. Or, for full-scale dopamine dressing, a pair of our peridot Special Editions earrings will lift your mood as well as brighten your outfit.
Perfect for summer days in the city, pair your peridot birthstone jewellery with a pair of denim shorts or a floral summer dress for a day of wandering through your favourite city. If you lovecontrasting colours, our double oval stud earrings feature striking combinations of peridot with soft pink morganite or with golden citrine, the mix of beautiful hues like a vibrant summer bouquet.
To care for your peridot jewellery, gently scrub the stone using a soft toothbrush with some washing up liquid in warm water, ensuring the gemstone stays clear and shining. Store your pieces in their Kiki boxes to prevent them tangling and scratching, so your birthstone jewellery will glisten in the city sunshine as you make the most of the summer.
