Diamond, black onyx and lapis lazuli cuff links
The traditional (but very stereotypical!) view of guys and girls has always been ‘the brawn’ and ‘the beauty’ … or in some cases, ‘Beauty and the Beast’! Luckily nowadays the lines between the stronger sex and the fairer sex are starting to blur … and us girls can appreciate our boyfriends, husbands, brothers, Dads and friends’ general good looks much more easily. Men’s jewellery is becoming more popular as men in general start to pay more attention to their presentation … so what better time to start building up your man’s collection than his birthday? Today we check out some of the newest, hottest and generally most appropriate men’s jewellery gifts for guys born in August.

Oval peridot yellow gold pendant
The birthstone poem originally published by Tiffany and Co., that set out the traditional array of birthstones as we know them, said that those born in August would remain unmarried unless they wore peridots. “The August born without this stone / /’Tis said, must live unloved; alone’. Nawh!! Pity the many, many poor women who couldn’t afford to buy peridots back in 1870, the pamphlet’s publication date. Or perhaps, don’t pity them … because it seems that many women managed to get married without the magical help of this nevertheless fresh, pretty and delightful stone! The not-very-subtle ways that Tiffany used to sell their peridot jewellery back in the 19th century don’t take anything away from the fact that peridots are a gorgeous gemstone for August birthdays; with a fresh, light colouring, an innate versatility, and a suitability for all budgets. All modern budgets, at least! Today we check out some beautiful peridot July birthday gifts from the range of birthstone jewellery on site.

Captivating peridot white gold earrings
There’s something magical about classical-style items … grandfather clocks, broderie anglais and bouquets of roses and violets have the power to transport you back to a simpler, quieter and more elegant time. Classical jewellery has the same power; its sleek simplicity means that all those base details and the quality of craftsmanship shines through wonderfully. Hopefully it also transfers some of that elegance and quality to the wearer! If you are searching for a traditional style gift for somebody this August, we’ve scoured the collection for both gent’s jewellery gifts and gentle-women’s jewellery gifts with a classical flavour. Check out these pieces as the perfect starting point for August-born gents and genteel ladies!

Citizen Men’s Diamond Eco-Drive Watch
Let me start by saying that I’d love to hear in the comments from any lady whose husband actually makes definite, specific gift suggestions for his birthday when asked! Husbands are wonderful at balancing out our own ups and downs, mowing lawns, tickling the kids and much more … but when it comes to picking birthday gifts for him, we are usually on our own
. There’s an upside to that, though. It means that we get to choose much-appreciated things for him that he’d never ask for, like stylish men’s watches, sleek and contemporary pendants and very smooth cufflinks! Jewellery gifts for husbands are a personal and sentimental idea – today we check out some of our new and classic favourite pieces for husbands born in August.
