August Birthstone: Peridot

 

Peridots have long been admired for their vivid green color. They can range in color from yellowish-green to brownish-green. The ancient Romans nicknamed them the "emerald of the evening" because they do not change color in artificial light.

 

Peridots are one of the few gemstones that can only be found in one color. The intensity of the color depends on how much iron is contained in the crystal structure. They are typically found in rocks created by volcanoes or in meteors.

 

Legend states that peridots could bring good luck, peace and success to the wearer. It has also been rumored that they ward off evil spirits by giving off a glow at night.

 

Peridots rate 6.5-7.0 on the Mohs Hardness scale which means they are susceptible to being scratched, so it is best to store them away from other jewelry. Never use ultrasonic or steam cleaners, clean your peridot jewelry with mild soap and water.


 

Reminder

August Gems of Wisdom

 

The birthstone for August is the peridot. (Please see the article.)

 

The birth flower for August is the gladiolus. The flower is named for the shape of its leaves, which are sword like, from the Latin word "gladius" which means sword.

Legendary Gemstones: The Schlumberger Peridot Seahorse

 

Jean Schlumberger was a French jewelry designer perhaps best known for his work at Tiffany & Co. Schlumberger was born in Mulhouse, France, June 24, 1907 and lived until August 29, 1987. As a child, he was very artistic, though he never received any formal training. Before landing in New York after having served in the French Army during World War II, Schlumberger worked designing buttons, costume jewelry and clothing. In 1946 he opened a jewelry salon with a business partner.

 

It was in 1956 that Schlumberger was asked to design for Tiffany & Co. Amongst his impressive client base were celebrities such as Greta Garbo, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor. He also designed the famous "Two Fruit" clip in rubies and diamonds which was purchased by John F. Kennedy for his wife Jackie and is in the permanent collection of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. Jackie Kennedy wore many Schlumberger bracelets which the press dubbed "Jackie bracelets."

 

His designs were notable for being inspired by sea creatures and other animals and were whimsical interpretations. Shown here is Schlumberger's 18 karat gold, peridot, ruby and diamond seahorse brooch which is currently held by a private owner. It once sold by Sotheby's auction for $15,000.
