Peridot symbolizes renewal, optimism, and heart-centered clarity. Long celebrated as August’s birthstone—and nicknamed the “gem of the sun”—it’s traditionally linked with warmth, protection on new journeys, and the steady confidence to grow.

Clean peridot with lukewarm water, a drop of mild dish soap, and a soft brush; rinse well and pat dry. Skip ultrasonic/steam cleaners, harsh chemicals, high heat, and sudden temperature changes. Follow “last on, first off”: remove for workouts, cleaning, pools, and sauna. Store pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined box. Choose low-profile settings for rings and avoid hard knocks on bracelets. Give prongs/links a quick pro check every 6–12 months.
