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 19^th 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.

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 .
