About The August Birthstone Ring

Before the days of reliable gem testing, spinels and rubies were very difficult to distinguish. The famous Black Prince’s ruby, part of the British crown jewels, is actually a spinel.

August Birthstone Ring Designs

Peridot comes in a range of greens, while spinel comes in nearly every color, including red, blue, green, orange, and purple. In the past, it was frequently confused with sapphires and rubies, because of the color and because at 8 on the Moh's scale, it’s almost as hard as sapphires and rubies, which are 9.

• Anniversary Symbolism - Peridot is the traditional for the 16th anniversary rings, as well as August birthstone rings.
  
• Famous Mine - San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation in Arizona produces the majority of peridot today.
• Volcanic Activity - Peridot is primarily formed from volcanic activity, but some meteorites have small peridots. In Hawaii, there’s an entire beach whose sand is made of peridot.
  
• Popular Rings - Sardonyx was a popular stone for signet rings, since wax doesn’t stick to this stone.
