Amanda’s Style File: Spinel vs. Peridot

by D.William


With August’s arrival, there is a friendly showdown for the top-ranking birthstone. 

Peridot is the OG. It was the original birthstone, and generations of August babies have had a love/hate relationship with the pretty green gemstone. 

Some love its bright and cheery appearance, while others aren’t a fan. 

Ten years ago, Jewelers of America and the American Gem Trade Association added spinel to the official birthstone list, giving peridot a companion for August.  

Spinel comes with a higher price tag but offers a wide variety of colors. 

With two options to choose from, are more people Team Peridot or Team Spinel?  

Check out these selects and decide for yourself.
