We have absolutely no doubt in the world that whoever you are looking for a birthday gift for this August, they are one of a kind. Even if they are an identical twin! It is a law of nature that no two people are alike, and if you are looking for a gift for somebody that is truly in a class of their own, why not make sure that their jewelry is just as unique as they are? There is actually a huge variety of personalized jewelry that can be custom made or built. We explore some of the options for August birthdays here.

Loose Diamond Selection Page

If you are going ot the trouble of finding a personalized gift this August, and you also have the luxury of having a decent budget for the gift, then loose diamonds could be the solution for you. We have access to a variety of loose diamonds, in round cuts, princess cuts, marquise cuts, heart cuts, and square cuts, as well as a huge variety of different weights. There are close to a hundred different varieties of diamond that you can buy, for your diamond in the rough! Prices start at AU$800, and you can choose from D to M colored diamonds, as well as six different levels of clarity. You can see the selection screen above, as well as a lovely diamond example at the beginning of the article.

Peridot Nomination Link

If your budget isn’t quite so extensive, but your gift-ee is just as unique, then the Pandora or Nomination range might have a solution for you! Both are variants of charm bracelets. While Pandora has a gorgeous vintage, feminine charm, in a traditional style bracelet or necklace, with hundreds of available beads, the Nomination range is suitable for both men and women, and features a clever linking system which allows parts of the bracelet to be taken off and put on, without having dangling or clunky pieces. The nomination range has a link specifically for August birthdays, featuring the birthstone for August, the peridot. This is pictured above - you can search for it in the gemstones category, under the natural semiprecious stones area. Alternatively, you could go for a faceted green cubic zirconia (under the Faceted area of the Cubic Zirconia section), or even an emerald link, as pictured below. This different style is available under the Dangle section - look under gemstones, and natural semiprecious stones.

Pandora Peridot Link

As we mentioned above Pandora has an awesome range of charms for bracelets, all incorporating the signature style which mixes elegance, old world charm, and a healthy dash of the cute! Pandora bracelets are a lovely gift for children - they can be built upon year after year, and will be wearable long into adulthood. For August, Pandora has a peridot bead. This is actually one of the few genuine birthstone beads available in the Pandora range - they are often substituted for less expensive stones, to make the bracelets accessible for everybody.

Virgo Charm

Pandora also has the entire range of zodiac signs available. If your loved one is born on or before the 22nd of August, they will be a Leo. If they are born on or after the 23rd, they are a Virgo. The Virgo link is pictured, but you don’t necessarily have to go with a traditional symbol. You could also spell out their zodiac sign using the letter beads available, as shown below. There are simple square silver letters, or these more interesting ones:

Pandora ‘V’ Charm

If you check the gemstone section of the Pandora page you will also find alternative gemstone beads, like the popular enfolded design. Match the peridot bead with its complementary red garnet enfolded bead, as shown below - you could use these as markers or a repeating pattern in the Pandora bracelet.
