What better gift than a Claddagh ring set with the recipient’s own birthstone? August’s birthstone, peridot, is found in shades of light green or greenish-gold, and it’s said that those born under this stone are friendly, talkative, with a deep inner strength and confidence. The Claddagh’s symbols are also meaningful, representing love (heart), friendship (hands) and loyalty (crown). This sterling silver peridot ring has been Irish hallmarked in Dublin Castle.
