August has several birthstones, but the most well-known is peridot. This beautiful green gemstone comes in a range of hues, from yellow-green to deep green, and lends itself to classic, stone-focused jewelry, as well as accents with other stones and colors. 

Verdura

This stunning X necklace from Verdura features over 55 cushion-cut Burma peridots mixed with diamonds for sparkle and yellow-sapphire-set X shapes. The arrangement of stones gives a sense of playfulness to the important piece. It is sold with or without the detachable drop, which features a significant oval-faceted peridot, a fancy-intense yellow marquise diamond, and a white diamond.

The architectural shape isn’t just part of the design, it’s a unique way to set the 3.94-carat peridot. The sharp prongs flow into the rest of the curved ring, and the result is absolutely stunning.
