Peridot is the official birthstone for August – it’s a lovely fresh, lilting sort of gemstone … one that probably captures the essence of your wife beautifully! If you’re looking for a gift that’s quick and easy, and infallibly appropriate, check out the peridot jewellery on site as well as the peridot pieces within our hand-selected jewellery gifts for wives. The Pandora jewellery Lovepods necklace at the beginning of the article is one of the star pieces – the mix of elegant yellow gold, a striking black leather necklace and the spring-time green peridots is very special. There are plenty of matching Lovepods jewellery pieces if you feel the need to keep the theme going (which she’ll love!). Order this one early, as they aren’t always in stock and may need a little delivery time.

We also love the Pandora pearl and peridot earrings at right – they are better suited to daywear and very versatile, but still include that magical peridot stone that makes any piece of jewellery instantly suitable for August-born women! Theey are around 3cm long, and made of both sterling silver and 14ct yellow gold – they sit right on the border between a casual, weekend wear piece of jewellery and a highly formal piece. Those signature peridot flowers attaching the pearls to the earrings themselves appear in quite a few pieces of Pandora jewellery – another opportunity to expand on the theme if she falls absolutely in love with these earrings.

Your wife’s wedding ring is probably one of her most prized possessions … and while neither she nor you probably feels the need to fill up those fingers with any more rings, this yellow and pink sapphire pendant has the same eternal, everlasting, circular symbolism as a true ring. It also includes a 0.04ct genuine white diamond, which is one of the alternative (Tibetan, or Mystical) birthstones for the month of August. The pendant is a definite luxury item, with its stunning array of pink and yellow sapphires and 18ct white gold base. If your wife has a special birthday coming up (30^th, 40^th, 50^th etc), this pendant will definitely mark the occasion as one of the nights of her life!

The Citizen watch at right is another sleek, stylish and sophisticated way to incorporate diamonds into your wife’s jewellery gift. The skilled watchmakers at Citizen have managed to fit 34 genuine white diamonds into the borders of the timepiece at right. The main body of the watch is gold-tone stainless steel, so despite the rich and decadent appearance this is a tough women’s watch, made to last. Probably much like a woman you know… . Behind the classical appearance is one of Citizen’s finest technical achievements – the Eco-Drive system which means that the watch will never need a battery change. Once the solar cell is fully charged, the watch can operate for an amazing 240 days without any light. Even when flat, just pop it out in either natural or artificial light, update the time and away she goes!

August-born ladies all share peridots and diamonds as a birthstone, but the month can also be broken down into the passionate and dramatic Leo lionesses, born between the 1^st and 23^rd of the month, and the detail-oriented Virgos on a hunt for personal perfection, born on or after the 24^th. The signature colour for Leo girls is orange, and we love the earthy orange tones of amber for these women. The amber earrings at right are one of many similar designs we have on site – so if you like the idea but are looking for something slightly different, check out the rest of the amber earring range. These earrings are 5cm long, and have a definite earthy, relaxed, weekend feel about them.

The signature colour for Virgo ladies, born on or after the 24^th of August, is a deep, calm blue … like the simple and pristine sapphire earrings at right. If your wife goes for minimal adornment, simple jewellery and true quality, these genuine 3mm sapphire earrings are perfect. The gemstones have a combined weight of 0.29ct, and are set on 9ct yellow gold … making them a gorgeous, yet very affordable piece.

We also love the heart dangle necklace at right for wives born in August, with its dainty 5.5mm freshwater pearls and decadent, swaying heart dangle charm. The chain is actually 16mm long … so this will be a piece of jewellery that nestles right into the bosom that you love, constantly reminding her of you. Nawh! It is also a very budget friendly piece of jewellery, with its sterling silver base and clever use of small pearls.
