Peridot White Gold Ring

Remember when you were a little kid, hearing your mother say over and over again ‘It’s the thought that counts!’. Well, it is only as we grow up that we realize the truth of many things that our mothers said to us, like ‘Brush your teeth twice a day’, ‘Real beauty is on the inside’, and ‘Just wait til your father gets home!’ ;-D
It is with our mothers’ words of wisdom in mind that we write this post about inexpensive gifts for August birthdays. You might be looking for something small, to say ‘I love you’, be on a limited budget, or even be looking for something as an addition to a larger present. Whatever the reason, we have plenty of ideas for special gifts this August that are under AU$100- read on!

Heart Cut Peridot Earrings

The birthstone for August is the peridot - a beautiful and quite rare stone which has nevertheless been skilfully incorporated into many inexpensive pieces of jewelry. The peridot and white gold ring at the beginning of the article is a great example, with its simple but contemporary square cut stone, and the slimline white gold band, it is great for everyday wear. Another fantastic thing about this product is that it is eligible for free shipping across Australia, as is everything else you order with it. If you had any doubts about whether it really is cheaper to shop over the internet, they can now be removed! Another great example of inexpensive peridot jewelry is above - these heart cut peridot earrings feature stones which are actually 6mm across - quite large for their low price of only AU$88. These are also eligible for free shipping.

This is where zodiac signs can be an immense help. Those born from the 1st to the 22nd of August are Leos - traditionally creative, dramatic, outgoing and charismatic people. After the 23rd, Virgo rules; Virgo lads and lasses are usually quite detail oriented, reserved, discreet and modest. For Leo ladies, we’ve picked out these purple cubic zirconia pendants - utterly different to most of the other jewelry available, they will really appeal to a Leo’s sense of the creative and unusual. The cubic zirconias have all the gorgeous look of amethysts, but as they are synthetic stones, the price is kept to a minimum. They are set on sterling silver, and the piece costs only AU$99!

Tatty Teddy Dangle Ring

Here is another piece where the entire design really stands out - this Tatty Teddy ring incorporates a blue crystal and the gorgeous Tatty Teddy motif as dangles on the front of the ring, as well as having an open back. Leos will love the unusual design, and as the ring has an open back, there is no need to spoil the surprise by asking to take a finger measurement for their birthday gift! This is only AU$27.
