August’s birthstones are both green – perfect to match the landscape during Summer. Jade is the most ancient of semi-precious stones, available in a variety of colours when dyed and of course its natural colour, which is the palest of greens.  Thought to bring the wearer luck, it is the Chinese stone for good fortune and makes a great birthday gift.
