Luck would have it that August babies not only have the earthy tone of Peridot as their birthstone but also spinel and sardonyx. Spinel, often mistaken for ruby and saphire, was the original birthstone of August until Peridot was added and became the more popular of the two. Sardonyx, a layered red-ish rock was later added into August. As peridot is the most popular gem of the three, we've put together some inspo for those August babies out there. PSA: If you are an August baby aren't taking the opportunity to pull of a Gwyneth Paltrow cyrca 1998's Great Expectations, then you aren't living your life to the fullest potential. And better yet, the 2017 Pantone colour of the year makes it magic. ✨ Solange never disappoints via Green chaise via Raw Peridot via The World of Interiors, October 2002.
