Peridot is the accepted gemstone for August. Peridot is the child of volcanic action. Tiny peridot crystals are sometimes combed from the black sands of Hawaii Peridots were favoured by pirates, considered powerful amulets against evil, and when set in gold, were said to protect the wearer from the terrors of the night. They had medicinal uses, too. If fashioned into a chalice from which medicines were drunk, they intensified the effects of the drug. Many people know which gemstone is associated with his or her month of birth. This is probably due to the folklore associated with these stones. Early civilisations as far back as 1400 BC gave mysterious and magical powers to gemstones, believing that wearing the gemstone would give them luck or protect them. The Gemstones collection is a great way to introduce someone to the finely crafted ranges of Royal Doulton figurines. Each modern young lady features an appropriate Swarovski crystal on her chest. Each of the exquisitely modelled bone china figurines is expertly hand made and meticulously hand painted, true to the finest traditions of Royal Doulton Naturally, each one comes handsomely gift boxed with a Certificate of Authenticity, making them collectable china figurines to savour.
