If your friend or loved one came into the world, red-faced and squealing, in August (!), they will be either a Virgo or a Leo. Leos are born from the 1st to the 22nd of August, while Virgo takes up the 23rd to the 31st. Before you dismiss the zodiac as a predictor of personality, go check the characteristics for your own starsign … then come back and tell me whether or not you are rattled, humbled, and pegged down by the infinite wisdom of the stars! Leo men and women are usually very outgoing, creative, dramatic and passionate, where Virgos are traditionally very reserved, detail-oriented, discreet and modest.

You can see how their jewelry will follow their personality – the opal drop pendant pictured at the beginning of the article will be a lovely choice for a Leo lady, with its colorful stones and noticeable size, it is as outgoing as she probably is! It features six opal boulder doublets, and is set on sterling silver. The aquamarine white gold pendant below this is an obvious contrast, and great for a Virgo – the nearly clear stone is very discreet, and the stone is cut with precision and delicacy, for the methodical and precise Virgo. This pendant is sold as a stand-alone item, so if you already have a chain in mind it can be utilized, or you can pick one especially for it.

This gorgeous diamond pendant pictured is just as delicate in color and shaping as the aquamarine one above, but more of a luxury item, great for special birthdays or special ladies! It has a lovely three dimensionality to it, with the setting twisting and protruding. Yet it maintains a discretion and modesty, with its barely-there coloration. The diamond is set on white gold, and you can choose from our large range of chains for this pendant also.

For those colorful and lively Leos, this gorgeous gemstone pendant also includes the birthstone for the month of August, which is the peridot. The peridot is set alongside citrine, topaz, tourmaline and pearls, in a beautiful flower design. All these gorgeous and creative stones are set on white gold, and the necklace is made of white gold, with pearls set into the chain. You also get free shipping on this product, and all others you buy with it – bargain!

If you like the thought of a pendant on your lovely Leo man, then this black design one is a great choice. The base metal is stainless steel, so it is suitable for all skin types, and the front features a modern black enamel circuitry design – very creative! The black cord necklace that is pictured comes with the pendant, and it is actually much longer than usual, at 60cm. If your Leo man needs to hide his jewelry beneath clothing (or if you are lucky enough to have a man that gets about with his shirt off quite often!), then this longer cable will be a real bonus.

If you have a Virgo man to buy for this August, you’ll no doubt find some promising items for the shortlist amongst the Inori brand jewelry. By the way, if you want to refine your results from the men’s jewelry gift finder to necklaces and pendants, simply go to the Style tab and check the boxes for 45cm, 50cm, 55cm and 60cm lengths, and this will bring up all the necklaces. The Inori brand chain (pictured) is a lovely slimline, discreet design for your simple and modest Virgo man, and features a distinctive horizontal-vertical linking system.

And now that you have discovered why pendants and necklaces are such a popular gift item – great range, beautifully made pieces, and something to suit all budgets – you just need to make sure that your friend or loved one appreciates the versatility and beauty of this jewelry also!
