August Birthstone: Celebrate with Vibrant Green Light

Peridot is one of the few gemstones formed deep within the Earth’s mantle, made through volcanic activity over millions of years. It’s most commonly found in Hawaii, Pakistan, China and the United States.

At Francesca, we reflect this natural, undefinable beauty in our august birthstone collection by using premium cubic zirconia, in a shade that captures the energy of peridot in a way that remains accessible.

To retain the sparkle of your august birthstone jewellery, gently wipe it with a soft cloth after each wear. Avoid harsh chemicals, water exposure, and perfumes to preserve the stone’s clarity and shine. Store your jewellery in a soft pouch to protect it from scratches and keep it looking its best.

The official August birthstone is peridot—a gem known for its vivid green colour and uplifting symbolism. It represents light, renewal, and positivity, making it a meaningful choice for birthdays or special milestones in August.

Our August Birthstone Studs are a standout addition to your stud earrings collection. Wear them solo for a pop of colour, or layer them with gold hoops, dainty charms, or stackable rings for a look that’s fresh, modern, and personal.

Yes—peridot is one of the only gemstones that occurs exclusively in green. The intensity can range from yellow-green to olive, but its signature tone is unmistakable. Francesca’s August birthstone studs are selected for their vibrant, wearable shade.
