August’s birthstone adds a perfect pop of color to any outfit and seamlessly fits in with looks from casual to black tie, and everything in between. Peridot comes in multiple shades of green and looks best set in yellow gold. Peridot’s cool tones look good on everyone, but those with yellow-based skin tones will find this gemstone to be particularly flattering.
