  • DD is sapphire and DSS is diamond. I have a great combination for a mother's ring!

    My birthday is a garnet, which I love. I like peridot, though.

  • I'm October.  I love my opal birthstone!  Green peridot isn't so bad.

  • I'm have an August birthday, so I have spent my entire life with peridot.  Actually, DD and I have only 4 days between our birthdays.  Just as an FYI the zodiac birthstones are slightly different if your LO is a Leo then peridot it is, but if yo

    Then and now. How did my boy get so big? 

  • I agree. I remember when I found out I was due mid August I knew I was stuck with peridot and was sad about it. I am April= diamond, and DH september= sapphire which are very pretty together. I never even think to look at things with DDs birthstone.

  • Boo you Peridot haters. My bday is 4 days before DS'. I like peridot.
  • At first I hated the color of peridot. Surprisingly though, it looks really nice against DD's skintone, and so now I like it.

  • I'm kind of sad because my birth stone is amethyst, I believe SOs is pink, and then Js is green. Doesn't match :[

  • ...I actually really like peridot. My DH got me a gorgeous peridot and diamond necklace on a gold chain when I was in the hospital after having DD and I think it's beautiful. Mine is Opal and DH's is ruby so the green, red, and whitish/pink go really well

  • I'm not against the peridot. What bugs me about birthstones is that some are too expensive or rare to put into mother rings. For example, I'm December which is Turquoise, but anything like that you buy just gets a blue zircon stone. My sis is October so i

  • Awww, its not my favorite but I think peridot is pretty.  Mine is aquamarine (my least favorite) and DH's is a diamond so I think the three will look nice together.

  • I love green, so I don't mind the peridot. I think it's pretty.

    My wedding band is made with green garnets, but people always think they are either peridot or emerald.
