If you're lucky enough to be an August baby, then your birthstone is peridot—and let me tell you, she is not shy. With her bright lime green glow, peridot is like the friend who walks into the party and lights up the room (literally).
I’ve always had a soft spot for this gemstone. That exact shade of green? It instantly takes me back to the 90s. Remember when lime green everything was a vibe? I had notebooks, scrunchies, a glitter gel pen collection… and yes, probably a few questionable outfits all in that same electric shade. So every time I spot a piece of peridot jewelry now, it feels like a little nostalgic time capsule—with way better taste.
But peridot isn’t just a throwback dream. This stone packs some serious metaphysical magic, too.
✨ The Metaphysical Mojo of Peridot
-
Emotional Detox Queen:
Peridot is known for helping to release old baggage—think jealousy, resentment, or that awkward comment you made five years ago that still haunts you in the shower. -
Stress Relief in Sparkly Form:
It’s often called the “stone of compassion” and is thought to calm the nervous system and invite peace. Basically, she’s a tiny green therapist in gem form. -
Confidence Booster:
Peridot helps you stand tall in your own power. It’s said to activate the heart chakra, promoting self-love, growth, and an overall sense of badassery. -
Good Vibes Only:
Throughout history, people believed peridot could ward off evil spirits. Whether or not you believe in the woo, it definitely keeps bad vibes at bay—if only because it’s too cute to be messed with.
💍 Styling the Lime Queen
Peridot pairs beautifully with silver (which, surprise surprise, we happen to specialize in 😏). Whether you go dainty with a minimalist ring or bold with a chunky statement piece, the glow of peridot is a showstopper. It brings just the right amount of pop without screaming look at me (but also… you should totally look at me).
