Pearl, Peridot and Iolite Earrings

If your lovely wife will be another year older and another year wiser this August, then you really need to take her mind off that fact! Perhaps that was how the tradition of giving birthday gifts began … husbands eventually became so sick of their wives being in a bad mood every time they turned another year older, that they had to take their minds off their age somehow! If you want to help your wife focus on the good things in life this birthday (like you, of course ), then we have some great gift ideas for you.

Pearl, Peridot and Topaz Necklace

There is a huge range of jewelry that will absolutely knock her socks off … so huge in fact, that you are reading this blog post for ideas on where to start! One of the easiest and simplest ways to personalize jewelry is to buy something that includes her birthstone. For August, this is the peridot, and you can see how well this gorgeous light green stone works in with so many other gems - it adds color while still remaining very subtle. Iolite is one of peridot’s best friends, and as a team they make wonderful colorful jewelry for women who are equally colorful and full of life. The iolite and peridot earrings up the top are set on white gold, together with cultured fresh water pearls. The necklace just above features cultured fresh water pearls linked into a 14ct white gold chain, and the peridot is matched up with blue topazes, both in the flower and in the drop. The blues and greens create a vast, calming ocean feel, for a completely different use of peridot.

Pandora Peridot Earrings

If your wife likes her jewelry not to overshadow her radiant youthfulness and stunning beauty, you could go for something a little more subtle, like these Pandora peridot earrings. They are post and butterfly fittings, so your wife can leave them in all day, every day if she likes, without fear of wrecking them or having them fall out. They are also part of a matching set of Pandora jewelry, which includes several variants of earrings, a ring, a necklace, as well as beads to go on a Pandora charm bracelet or necklace … they are a whole other story! The matching, stunningly simple ring is shown below.

Pandora Peridot Ring

If peridots, or gemstone jewelry in general, aren’t your wife’s ideal, there are still plenty of hints and tips for making present buying easier. One is to go by her birthday; if she is born on or before the 22nd of August, she is a Leo. You are most likely married to a creative, outgoing and dramatic woman, who is also generous and ambitious. If your wife is born on or after the 23rd of the month, she is a Virgo, and is fixated on precision, modesty, discretion and the finer details.
