Peridot has been treasured since antiquity. Revered by the ancient Egyptians as the “gem of the sun,” this brilliant green stone was believed to ward off nightmares and bring its wearer happiness and good fortune. Found in volcanic deposits and even in meteorites, Peridot is one of the few gemstones that appears in only one colour — a vibrant olive to lime green that feels both earthy and otherworldly.

Spinel has long lived in the shadows of more famous stones, but gem historians know it has always played a starring role. For centuries, Spinel was mistaken for ruby — the famous “Black Prince’s Ruby” in the British Crown Jewels is in fact a glowing red Spinel.

Only recently recognised as a modern August birthstone, Spinel occurs in a dazzling range of colours: vibrant reds, pinks, purples, blues, and even greys. It is prized for its brilliance, exceptional hardness, and growing rarity. Whether set in a dainty antique ring or a bold cocktail piece, Spinel is a sophisticated choice for the modern collector who values both colour and clarity.

In a world of fast fashion, jewellery remains one of the most enduring forms of personal expression. Peridot and Spinel, with their deep roots in history and their undeniable modern appeal, remind us that style evolves, but quality endures.
