Are you searching for a special and different gift for yourself or for the man in your life? A Peridot men's ring makes for a distinct and stylish statement about the man who wears it. Once considered more valuable than diamonds, a peridot ring is a must have. This "gem of the sun" is the birthstone of August and is a beautiful match for the lush green tapestry of late summer. One of the oldest gemstones in history, garnet is the birthstone of January. Garnet rings have been popular since Victorian times, and are treasured for their deep red color.
